title: 3-Acetyl-6-chloro-2-methyl-4-phenyl-quinolinium perchlorate.
abstract: In the title mol-ecular salt, C(18)H(15)ClNO(+)·ClO(4) (-), the quinolin-ium ring system is approximately planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.027 (1) Å. The dihedral angle formed between the mean planes of the quinolinium ring system and the benzene ring is 78.46 (3)°. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions into a three-dimensional network. The crystal structure is further consolidated by C-H⋯π inter-actions.
