In the dication of the title salt, C6H16N22+·2C6H4NO2-, the two ammonium groups are in the equatorial positions of the chair-shaped cyclohexyl ring. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked by N-H...O and N-H...N hydrogen bonds, forming a layer network parallel to the ac plane. Weak [pi]-[pi] interactions between adjacent pyridine rings with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.589 (2) Å are also present.
