Abstract

The low-temperature (130 K) crystal structure of the 1:1 proton-transfer compound of 3,5-dinitro­salicylic acid (DNSA) with diethyl­amine, viz. diethyl­aminium 3,5-dinitro­salicylate, C4H12N+·C7H3N2O7−, shows the presence of conformationally extended diethyl­aminium cations in which both H atoms of the aminium centres participate in three-centre hydrogen-bonding associations [one R12(4) and the other R12(6)] with carbox­yl, phenol and nitro O-atom acceptors of two separate DNSA anion species [N⋯O = 2.813 (3)–3.320 (3) A]. These result in 12-membered cyclic R64(12) associations linking the two sets of hetero-species into discrete centrosymmetric tetra­mers which have no significant peripheral extensions.
