In the title molecular salt, the two rings of the barbiturate anion are inclined to one another by 43.40 (3)°. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked via N—HO hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains along [10], which in turn are linked by O—HO and C—HO hydrogen bonds, forming slabs lying parallel to (10).

The asymmetric unit of the title molecular salt, C3H10N+·C12H9N4O7− [alternative name: trimethylammonium 5-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-1,3-dimethyl barbiturate], contains one anion and two half-occupancy cations. The cations are disordered about inversion centres. The tetrahydropyrimidine ring is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.007 (2) Å] and forms a dihedral angle of 41.12 (6)° with the plane of the benzene ring. In the crystal, N—HO hydrogen bonds link the cations to the anions.
