In the cinnarizinium dication of the title compound {systematic name: 1-diphenylmethyl-4-[(2E)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-yl]piperazine-1,4-diium bis(2,4,6-trinitrophenolate)}, C26H30N2
2+·2C6H2N3O7
−, the piperazine group is protonated at both N atoms and adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation. Strong N—H⋯Ohydroxy cation–anion hydrogen bonds link the dication and two anions. In the cation, the (2E)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-yl fragment is disordered over two positions in a ratio of 0.586 (4): 0.414 (4). Two nitro groups in one anion and three in the other one demonstrate rotational disorder. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular π–π [centroid–centroid distances = 3.844 (7), 3.677 (9), 3.825 (5), 3.634 (2) and 3.729 (7) Å], C—H⋯π and C—H⋯O interactions.
