Abstract

In both ionic components of the title salt, C4H7N2+·C6H2N3O7−, the rings are approximately planar; the maximum deviation from the mean plane is an order of magnitude larger in the picrate ring [0.0289 (10) Å] than in the imidazolium ring [0.0028 (10) Å. The nitro groups are twisted with respect to the six-atom ring plane; the NO2 groups next to the oxide O atom, at the 2- and 6-positions, are twisted more [by 53.59 (9) and 18.46 (12)°] than the NO2 group at the 4-postition, for which the twist angle is 7.28 (16)°. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, in which the hydroxyl O atom acts as a double acceptor and one of the O atoms from a nitro group acts as an additional acceptor, connect mol­ecules into chains along the c-axis direction. Relatively short C—H⋯O contacts and π–π inter­actions between symmetry-related six-membered rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.5938 (10) and 3.6223 (10) Å] also occur.
