title: Bis(2,6-diamino-4-chloro-pyrimidin-1-ium) fumarate.
abstract: In the title salt, 2C4H6ClN4(+)·C4H2O4(2-), the complete fumarate dianion is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The cation is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.018 (1) Å. In the anion, the carboxyl-ate group is twisted slightly away from the attached plane, the dihedral angle between the carboxyl-ate and (E)-but-2-ene planes being 12.78 (13)°. In the crystal, the protonated N atom and the 2-amino group of the cation are hydrogen bonded to the carboxyl-ate O atoms of the anion via a pair of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an R2(2)(8) ring motif. In addition, another type of R2(2)(8) motif is formed by centrosymmetrically related pyrimidinium cations via N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. These two combined motifs form a heterotetra-mer. The crystal structure is further stabilized by stong N-H⋯O, N-H⋯Cl and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting a three-dimensional network.
