In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(16)H(16)N(+)·CF(3)SO(3) (-), the central ring adopts a flattened-boat conformation, and the two aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 3.94 (2)°. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules. There are π-π contacts between the aromatic rings and the central ring and one of the aromatic rings [centroid-cen...
