The bulky organic molecule in the title compound, sodium 2-[6-amino-2,
4(3H, SH)-dioxopyrimidin-5-ylazo]benzoate heptahydrate, Na+.C11H8N5O4-
.7H(2)O, exists as a monovalent anion with negatively charged carboxyl
ate and uracil groups and a protonated azo group. An intramolecular bi
furcated hydrogen bond contributes to the approximate planarity of the
anion.
