M. Zhu, L. Lu and P. Yang

Abstract: The cation in the title compound, C₄H₁₂N₅⁺·NO₃^-, is protonated at one imino group, and through this an intramolecular N-HN hydrogen bond is formed, which stabilizes the conformation of the cation in the structure. The dihedral angle between the two guanidine groups is 51.7  (1)°.
