In the title compound, C4H8N3O+·NO3−, creatininium cations and nitrate anions are linked to each other through strong hydrogen bonds, formed by all H atoms covalently bonded to the N atoms. Short contacts are also observed between the anions. This complex three‐dimensional network of hydrogen bonds ensures the cohesion of the ionic structure.
