In the anion of the title hydrated molecular salt, C9H8N+·C8H4NO6−·H2O, the protonated carboxyl and nitro groups makes dihedral angles of 27.56 (5) and 6.86 (8)°, respectively, with the attached benzene ring, whereas the deprotonated carboxy group is almost orthogonal to it with a dihedral angle of 80.21 (1)°. In the crystal, the components are linked by O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating [001] chains. The packing is consolidated by weak C—H...N and C—H...O interactions as well as aromatic π–π stacking [centroid-to-centroid distances: 3.7023 (8) & 3.6590 (9)Å] interactions, resulting in a three-dimensional network.
