Abstract: | Crystals of 2,4,6‐triamino‐1,3,5‐triazin‐1‐ium levulinate (4‐oxopentanoate) monohydrate, C3H7N6+·C5H7O3−·H2O, are formed via self‐assembled hydrogen bonding by cocrystallization of melamine and levulinic acid. Two N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and four N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect two melaminium entities such that each of two pairs of N—H⋯O bonds bridges two H atoms belonging to the amine groups of two different melaminium cations via the carbonyl O atom of one levulinate molecule. |
