In the crystal structures of the title compounds, C6H10N3O2+·C7H5O3-·H2O, (I), C6H10N3O2+·C7H4NO4-·H2O, (II), and C6H10N3O2+·C4H5O6-·C6H9N3O2, (III), the 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidinium cation [abbreviated as (MeO)2-Hampy+] interacts with the carboxylate group of the corresponding anion through a pair of nearly parallel N-HO hydrogen bonds to form R22(8) ring motifs. In (I), the (MeO)2-Hampy+ cation is centrosymmetrically paired through a pair of N-HN hydrogen bonds involving the 2-amino group and a ring N atom forming an R22(8) motif. In (II), inversion-related R22(8) motifs (amino-pyrimidine-carboxylate motifs) are further bridged by N-HO hydrogen bonds on either side forming a DDAA array of quadruple hydrogen bonds. This array is extended further on either side by Owater-HOmethoxy hydrogen bonds, resulting in an array of six hydrogen bonds (ADDAAD). The water molecule plays a pivotal role, and five hydrogen-bonded fused rings are formed around the water molecule. In (III), the carboxy group of the tartrate anion interacts with the ring N atom and 2-amino group of the neutral (MeO)2-ampy molecule through N-HO and O-HN hydrogen bonds. There is also an intramolecular O-HO hydrogen bond in the tartrate anion. In all three crystal structures, C-HO hydrogen bonds are observed.
