The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C6H9ClN22+·2H2PO4−, contains two dihydrogenphosphate anions and one 2-chlorobenzene-1,4-diaminium dication. The H2PO4− anions are interconnected through strong O—HO hydrogen bonds to form two-dimensional infinite layers parallel to (001). The organic entities are anchored to the inorganic layers through N—HO hydrogen bonds, and through weak C—ClO halogen bonds [3.159 (2) Å, 140.48 (7)°]. No π–π stacking interactions between neighboring aromatic rings or C—Hπ interactions towards them are observed. Minor disorder is observed for the Cl atom and one hydroxy group [minor-component occupancy = 3.29 (9)%].
