In the structure of the phenolate salt of the sulfa drug sulfamethazine with 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid, C12H15N4O2S+·C7H3N2O7−, the dihedral angle between the pyrimidine and benzene rings of the cation is 59.70 (17)°. In the crystal, cation–anion hydrogen-bonding interactions involving pyrimidine–carboxy N+—HO and amine–carboxy N—HO pairs give a cyclic R22(8) motif while secondary N—HO hydrogen bonds between the aniline group and both sulfone and nitro O-atom acceptors give a two-dimensional structure extending in (001).
