Melamine cyanurate also known as melamine-cyanuric acid adduct or melamine-cyanuric acid complex is a crystalline complex formed from a 1:1 mixture of melamine and cyanuric acid. The substance is not a salt despite its non-systematic name melamine cyanurate. The complex is held together by an extensive two-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds between the two compounds reminiscent to that seen in DNA base pairing.
