The title compound, 2C3H7N6 (+)·C6H7NO6 (2-)·3H2O, was obtained by mixing melamine and nitrilo-tri-acetic acid in aqueous solution. There is proton transfer from the nitrilo-triacteic acid to melamine to produce two melaminium cations and an inter-nal proton transfer to generate the [HN(CH2COO)](2-) zwitterion. The melaminium cations are arranged in hydrogen-bonded tapes formed by N-H⋯N inter-actions. These tapes extend parallel to the [010] direction and are stacked parallel to the a axis at a ...[more]
