In the title barbiturate salt (trivial name: trimethylammonium 2,4,6-trinitrophenylbarbiturate), C3H10N+·C10H4N5O9-, the asymmetric unit contains two sets of anion-cation moieties. The dihedral angle between the rings in the anions are 44.0 (3) and 45.7 (3)°. Adjacent anions are connected into ribbons along [100] through R22(8) ring motifs formed by N-H
O hydrogen bonds involving the barbiturate rings. Attached to both sides of these ribbons via N-H
O hydrogen bonds are the trimethylammonium cations. C-H
O hydrogen bonds are also observed.
