Abstract: The title salt, C₆H₁₆N⁺·C₆H₂N₃O₇^-, crystallizes with two pairs of cations and anions in the asymmetric unit. Anions A and B are stacked alternately in the (020) plane to form anionic columns having an ABABAB... sequence, with possible - interactions between them. The cationic columns surround these columns in an almost hexagonal fashion, with each column of the same type of cation, A or B. The anions and cations are connected through lone N-HO and by other C-HO hydrogen bonds. N-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds involving A-and B- type ions form a cyclic pattern with a graph-set descriptor R₂²(10).
