In the title compound, C10H8N4O3·C3H7NO, the asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent molecules A and B, each of which has one DMF solvate molecule. Molecules A and B both feature intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming S(6) ring motifs and consolidating the molecular configuration. In the crystal, N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds connect molecules A and B, forming R22(8) ring motifs. Weak C—H...O interactions link the molecules, forming layers parallel to the (\overline{2}12) plane. The DMF solvent molecules are also connected to the main molecules (A and B) by N—H...O hydrogen bonds. π–π stacking interactions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.8702 (17) Å] between the layers also increase the stability of the molecular structure in the third dimension. According to the Hirshfeld surface study, O...H/H...O interactions are the most significant contributors to the crystal packing (27.5% for molecule A and 25.1% for molecule B).

In the crystal, the whole molecule of the title compound, C14H12N4O7·0.224H2O, is nearly planar with a maximum deviation from the least-squares plane of 0.352 (1) Å. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond, generating an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked by centrosymmetric pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming ribbons along the c-axis direction. These ribbons connected by van der Waals contacts, forming sheets parallel to the ac plane. There are also intermolecular van der Waals contacts and and C—H...π interactions between the sheets. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most prevalent interactions are O...H/H...O (41.2%), H...H (19.2%), C...H/H...C (12.2%) and C...O/ O...C (8.4%).

In the anion of the title hydrated salt, C2H10N22+·C21H13N3O8S2−·2H2O, the planes of the phenyl rings and the benzene ring of the 5-nitro-2-oxidobenzenesulfonate group are inclined to one another by 44.42 (11), 56.87 (11) and 77.70 (12)°. In the crystal, the anions are linked to the cations and the water molecules by N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. Furthermore, there are face-to-face π–π stacking interactions between the centroids of one phenyl ring and the benzene ring of the 5-nitro-2-oxidobenzenesulfonate group [centroid–centroid distance = 3.8382 (13) Å and slippage = 1.841 Å]. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was conducted to verify the contributions of the different intermolecular interactions.
