The crystal structure of the title compound, C7H7F3N+center dot-C8H3Cl2O4-, is stabilized by five N -H center dot center dot center dot O, one O -H center dot center dot center dot O, two C -H center dot center dot center dot O and three C -H center dot center dot center dot X (X = F, Cl) hydrogen bonds. Intramolecular O -H center dot center dot center dot O and C -H center dot center dot center dot X hydrogen bonds generate edge-fused [ S(7) R-4(4)(24) S(7) R-2(2)(10) S(7) R-4(4)(24)S(7)] motifs. The cations and anions are linked to each other by C -H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, forming a chain along the c axis. This chain and the other hydrogen bonds form [ R-3(2)(6) R-1(2)(4) S(7) R-1(2)(4) R-4(4)(18) R-5(5)(24) R-4(4)(18) R-1(2)(4) R-1(2)(4) S(7)R-1(2) (4) R-3(2)(6)] motifs. The dihedral angle between the planes of the aromatic rings in the cation and anion is 34.86 (1)degrees.
