Description
Summary:In the title compound, C3H7N6+·C7H5O5−·2H2O, the melaminium and benzoate ions are approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation of the non-hydrogen atoms is 0.093 Å) and there is a strong C22(8) hydrogen-bonding embrace between them. The centre of symmetry generates a second acid–base pair which is bound to the first by a C22(8) (N—H...N) embrace common between melamine molecules in similar compounds. Further extensive hydrogen bonding assembles the components into a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network.
