title: Diacridinium tetra-kis(thio-cyanato-κS)platinate(II).
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(13)H(10)N)(2)[Pt(NCS)(4)], contains a protonated acridine molecule and one half of a [Pt(NCS)(4)](2-) anion. In the complex anion, the Pt(II) ion is located on an inversion centre and is four-coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar environment by four S atoms from four thio-cyanate ligands. The compound displays numerous inter-molecular π-π inter-actions between six-membered rings, with a shortest centroid-centroid distance of 3.682 (3) Å. The component ions inter-act by means of inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
