organic compounds
The title complex, C4H16N33+·H3O+·2C10H6O6S22−·3.5H2O, comprises one diethylenetriammonium trication, one oxonium cation, two naphthalene-1,6-disulfonate dianions and three-and-a-half water molecules. The oxonium cation donates a proton to each of three acceptors, forming strong hydrogen bonds, O—HO [2.476 (4), 2.473 (4) and 2.503 (4) Å]. O—HO and N—HO hydrogen bonds link the title complex into layers parallel to the (010) plane.
