✦ Synopsis
In the crystal structure of the title compound, 4C~4~H~12~N^+^·C~10~H~2~O~8~
^4−^·8H~2~O, there is a centre of symmetry at the centre of the benzene ring; the asymmetric unit comprises one half-anion, two cations and four water molecules. The pyromellitate tetraanion is nonplanar; it and the cations exhibit normal geometry. The two unique carboxylate groups are twisted out of the plane of the benzene ring by about 40 and 50°. The network formed by the ions and water molecules is based on eight O—H...O and six N—H...O strong hydrogen bonds.
