description

The structure of the title compound, C4H12N+·C2HO4−, consists of discrete oxalate monoanions and diethyl­ammonium cations. The N atom lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis and the oxalate ion is centrosymmetric. The oxalate monoanions are present as hydrogen-bonded linear chains. Conformationally extended diethyl­ammonium cations link the linear chains through three–centre N–H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
