Intramolecular N¡ªH...O and O¡ªH...O hydrogen bonds generate S(6) and S(5) rings, respectively. In the crystal, the two H atoms involved in the intramolecular hydrogen bonds also participate in intermolecular links to acceptor O atoms of the perchlorate anions. A simple intermolecular N¡ªH...O bond also occurs. Together, these form a double-chain structure along [101]. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536812023422
