In the crystal structure of the title salt, C3H7N6
+·NO3
−·C3H6N6·H2O, the asymmetric unit consists of two neutral melamine (1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine) molecules, two melaminium cations, two nitrate anions and two solvent water molecules. One of the nitrate anions is disordered over two sets of positions, with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.909 (3):0.091 (3). The cations and neutral molecules are approximately planar, with maximum deviations of 0.018 (2), 0.024 (2), 0.019 (2) and 0.007 (2) Å for each, respectively. In the crystal structure, melaminium cations and netural melamine molecules self-assemble via N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds to form a supramolecular hexagonal-shaped motif. In addition, the nitrate anions and water molecules are connected by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional network.
