title: 8-Iodo-quinolinium triiodide tetra-hydro-furan solvate.
abstract: The title compound, C(9)H(7)IN(+)·I(3) (-)·C(4)H(8)O, was synthesized from 8-amino-quinoline using the Sandmeyer reaction. The 8-iodo-quinolinium cation is essentially planar and the triiodide ion is almost linear. N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and inter-molecular I⋯I [3.7100 (5) Å] and I⋯H inter-actions, between the cation, anion and solvent mol-ecules result in the formation of sheets oriented parallel to the (03) plane. Between the sheets, 8-iodo-quinolinium and triiodide ions are stacked alternately, with I⋯C distances in the range ∼3.8-4.0 Å.
