AbstractThe title compound, 2C5H7N2 +·2C23H13O2 -·H2O, formed as a by-product in the attempted synthesis of a nonlinear optical candidate mol-ecule, contains two independent 4-amino-pyridinium cations and 2-(anthracen-9-yl)-3-oxo-3H-inden-1-olate anions with one solvent water mol-ecule. This is the first reported structure containing these anions. The two anions are not planar, having different inter-planar angles between the anthracenyl and inden-1-olate moieties of 59.07 (5) and 83.92 (5)°. The crystal packing, which involves strong classical hydrogen bonds and one C - H⋯π inter-action, appears to account for both the nonplanarity and this difference. © 2011 International Union of Crystallography.
