Abstract

In the title compound, C₆H₁₆N⁺·C₇H₅O₄ ⁻, the hydroxy groups of the 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate anion form O—H (...)

O hydrogen bonds to the carboxylate groups of two adjacent anions, generating layers propagating in the ac plane. The triethylammonium cations lie between these layers, forming N—H (...)

O hydrogen bonds to the carboxylate groups of the anions. The structure is consolidated by weak intermolecular C—H (...)

O interactions.
