The anion of the title salt, 2[C(NH2)3]+·C2N8O22-, lies on a center of inversion and its two five-membered rings are coplanar. The guanidinium cation forms N-H...O and N-H...N hydrogen bonds to the anion, generating an eight-membered ring. Other hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
