Cytosinium orotate dihydrate

The title compound, C4H6N3O+·C5H3N2O4 −·2H2O or Cyt+·Or−·2H2O, was synthesized by a reaction between cytosine (4-amino-2-hy­droxy­pyrimidine, Cyt) and orotic acid (2,4-dihy­droxy-6-carb­oxy­pyrimidine, Or) in aqueous solution. The two ions are joined by two N+—H⋯O− (±)-(CAHB) hydrogen bonds, forming...
