Cover Story: Although the triethylammonium betaine of squaric acid was first reported almost 30 years ago, its structure has remained unpublished until now. The crystal structure determination via the use of Hirshfeld atom refinement reveals that the compound is best described as a resonance hybrid structure with a partial enolate character of the two lateral squaric acid C=O groups. The solid-state supramolecular structure features weak intermolecular C–H···O hydrogen bonds. The present study provides the first structural characterization of a betaine of squaric acid containing a four-coordinate nitrogen atom directly attached to the four-membered ring.
