1,2-Diazinium hydrogen chloranilate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(4)H(5)N(2) (+)·C(6)HCl(2)O(4) (−), there are three crystallographically independent 1,2-diazinium cations and hydrogen chloranilate anions. The anions are held together by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form two types of dimers, one of which is centrosymmetric. The 1,2-diazinium cations are linked on both sides of each dimer via bifurcated N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to give two kinds of 2–2 cation–anion associations. The 2–2 associations are linked by inter­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a mol­ecular tape along the [230] direction. The tapes are further connected by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
