Abstract:
The title compound, C(4)H(8)N(5) (+)·C(2)HO(4) (-), was obtained from the reaction of oxalic acid and 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine. The protonated triazine ring is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.035 (1) Å, but the hydrogen oxalate anion is less planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.131 (1) Å for both carbonyl O atoms. In the crystal, the ions are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O, N-H⋯N, O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. Weak π-π [centroid-centroid distance = 3.763 Å] and C-O⋯π inter-actions [O⋯centroid = 3.5300 (16) Å, C-O⋯centroid = 132.19 (10)°] are also present.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
