Abstract: The molecular structure of the title compound, C₉H₁₃N₂⁺·ClO₄^-, consists of an N,N-dimethyl-N'-phenylformamidinium cation and a perchlorate anion. The latter forms five hydrogen bonds with three different formamidinium cations, using three O atoms. The cations and anions are linked through C-HO and N-HO hydrogen bonds, forming a ring; the centrosymmetrically related rings form a staircase via C-HO hydrogen bonds.
