    The title compound, C15H11N2+·HN2O6−, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with four mol­ecules in the unit cell. The planar 9-cyano-10-methyl­acridinium cations lie on crystallographic twofold axes and are arranged in layers, almost perpendicular to the ac plane, in such a way that neighbouring mol­ecules are positioned in a `head-to-tail' manner. These cations and the hydrogen dinitrate anions are linked through C—H⋯O...

    A tensor field is a tensor-valued function of position in space. The use of tensor fields allows us to present physical laws in a clear, compact form. A byproduct is a set of simple and clear rules for the representation of vector differential operators such as gradient, divergence, and Laplacian in curvilinear coordinate systems. The tensorial nature of a quantity permits us to formulate transformation rules for its components...
