Abstract: | Cations and anions of the title compound {systematic name: 1‐[4‐(aminocarbonyl)butyl]guanidinium bis(hydrogensquarate)}, C6H17N5O2+·2C4HO4−, are connected into a three‐dimensional network by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the l ‐argininamidium ammonium, amide and guanidinium functions and the hydrogensquarate carbonyl O atoms. The independent hydrogensquarate monoanions are linked into dimers by pairs of O—H⋯O′ hydrogen bonds. |
