The pyromellitate anion is double deprotonated. O¡ªH...O and C¡ªH...O hydrogen bonds connect the cations, anions and uncoordinated water molecules into a three-dimensional supramolecular network. One of the two lattice water molecules shows an occupancy of 0.25. An intramolecular O¡ªH...O hydrogen bond is present in the anion. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536811045156
