In the title mol-ecular salt [systematic name: triethylammonium 5-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrim-idin-4-olate], C(6)H(16)N(+)·C(10)H(5)N(4)O(7) (-), the cation and anion are linked by an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, inversion-related barbiturate rings are centrosymmetrically connected through pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming R(2) (2)(8)R(2) (2)(8) ring motifs.

THE ASYMMETRIC UNIT OF THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 9,10-dimeth-oxy-7-methyl-6,7,7a,8-tetra-hydro-5H-benzo[g][1,3]benzodioxolo[6,5,4-de]quinoline], C(20)H(21)NO(4), contains two independent mol-ecules with very similar bond lengths and angles. The crystal packing exhibits voids of 131 Å(3).
