In the crystal structure of the title compound, C4H13N52+·2NO3−, the main intermolecular interactions are the N—HO hydrogen bonds between the cationic amino groups and the O atoms of the nitrate ions. All amino H atoms and nitrate O atoms are involved in the three-dimensional hydrogen-bond network. There are two graph-set motifs R22(8), which include the amino groups connected to the N atoms in the biguanide 3-, 4- and 5-positions, and the O atoms of a nitrate ion. They are extended along the a axis. An O atom of the second nitrate ion is involved in a graph-set motif C(4) that is a part of a helix-like N—HOH—N—HO chain oriented along the b axis. There are also two weak C—HO interactions in the crystal structure.

The title structure, 3C2H7N4O+·HFPO3−·FPO32−·H2O, contains three independent 2-carbamoylguanidinium cations, one fluorophosphonate, one hydrogen fluorophosphonate and one water molecule. There are three different layers in the structure that are nearly perpendicular to the c axis. Each layer contains a cation and the layers differ by the respective presence of the water molecule, the hydrogen fluorophosphonate and fluorophosphonate anions. N—HO hydrogen bonds between the guanylurea molecules that interconnect the molecules within each layer are strong. The layers are interconnected by strong and weak O—HO hydrogen bonds between the anions and water molecules, respectively. Interestingly, the configuration of the layers is quite similar to that observed in 2-carbamoylguanidinium hydrogen fluorophosphonate [Fábry et al. (2012). Acta Cryst. C68, o76–o83]. There is also present a N—HF hydrogen bond in the structure which occurs quite rarely.
