In the crystal structure of the title organic salt, C(3)H(10)NO(+)·IO(4) (-)·C(12)H(24)O(6), the protonated 2-meth-oxy-ethanaminium (CH(3)OC(2)H(4)-NH(3) (+)) cation forms a 1:1 supra-molecular rotator-stator complex with the 18-crown-6 mol-ecule via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The (CH(3)OC(2)H(4)-NH(3) (+)) group is attached from the convex side of the bowl-shaped crown, in contrast to similar ammonium cations that nest in the curvature of the bowl. The cations are associated via N-H⋯O inter-actions, while the cations and anions are linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming cation-crown-anion chains parallel to [010].
