title: 1,3-Di-1-adamantylimidazolium (phthalocyaninato)lithium(I) acetone hemisolvate monohydrate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(23)H(33)N(2))[Li(C(32)H(16)N(8))]·0.5C(3)H(6)O·H(2)O, consists of two symmetry-unrelated lithium phthalocyanine (LiPc(-)) half-anions, centered at (1,0,0) and (0,,0), respectively, the bis-(adamant-yl)imidazolium cation (BAI(+)), occupying a general site, an acetone mol-ecule, disordered about the inversion centre at (0, , ) and a water mol-ecule at a general site. The LiPc(-) anions pack in a stepped pattern enclosing the bis-(adamant-yl)imidazolium cation. Attractions between the anion and cation are mediated by a water mol-ecule which forms O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In addition, two C-H⋯O interactions are seen.
