Abstract
This chapter is an update to the earlier Science of Synthesis contribution (Section 15.9.3),
covering selected methods for the preparation and the diverse fields of application of ac-
ridinium salts. The most important classical and recently published routes toward acridi-
nium core construction are described and categorized according to key retrosynthetic dis-
connections. The utility of acridinium moieties in supramolecular chemistry is show-
cased by examples for various supramolecular switches containing this heterocyclic sys-
tem. The application of acridinium salt derivatives as chemosensors for the detection of
anionic species is also shown. Furthermore, the chapter features recent representative
methods within the field of photoredox catalysis using acridinium salts as photocatalysts.
