The structure of the title compound, C4H122NO3+.C1410Cl2-, in the solid-state consists of a two-dimensional network of hydrogen-bonded TRISH+ {[tris(2-hydroxymethyl)methyl]ammonium} cations and D- {2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenylacetate} anions lined up along the [1 0 0] and [0 1 0] directions, respectively. Comparisons between the conformations of the TRISH+ cation and the TRIS base (C4H11NO3) show that the intermolecular hydrogen bonds have a major influence on determining the structures.
