Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C4H12N+·2C10H5O8 −·C10H6O8, consists of a tetra­methyl­amonium cation, an anion derived from the singly deprotonated pyromellitic acid anion, 2,4,5-carboxy­benzoate (H3bta−), and one-half of a benzene-1,2,4,5-tetra­carboxylic acid (H4bta) mol­ecule, which has the centroid of the aromatic ring positioned at a crystallographic centre of inversion. The H4bta and H3bta− residues are involved in an extensive inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding network, which leads to a three-dimensional supra­molecular structure containing one-dimensional channels running parallel to the [001] crystallographic direction. These channels house the tetra­methyl­amonium cations.
