| Summary: | In the title compound, CH6N3+·C16H31O4S2− [systematic name: guanidinium 2-(tetradecanoylsulfanyl)ethanesulfonate], each 2-(myristoylthio)ethanesulfonate ion displays hydrogen bonding to three guanidinium counter-ions, which themselves display hydrogen bonding to two symmetry-related 2-(myristoylthio)ethanesulfonate ions. Thus each cation forms six N—H...O bonds to neighboring anions, thereby self-assembling an extended ladder-type network. The average hydrogen-bond donor–acceptor distance is 2.931 (5) Å. The alkyl chains form the rungs of a ladder with hydrogen-bonding interactions forming the side rails.
