Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₄H₂₀N₃³⁺·3ClO₄^-, all three N atoms (one amine and two pyridyl) are protonated. At least one ClO₄^- ion is hydrogen bonded to each of the three N atoms. The H atom on the amine N atom shows the greatest distance to a ClO₄^- O atom (2.47  Å), while those on the two pyridyl N atoms are at distances ranging from 1.87 to 2.38  Å.
