Title: Crystal structure of 4,5-dinitro-1 H-imidazole

Journal Article · · Acta Crystallographica. Section E, Crystallographic Communications

Here, the title compound, C3H2N4O4, forms crystals with two molecules in the asymmetric unit which are conformationally similar. With the exception of the O atoms of the nitro groups, the molecules are essentially planar. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are associated by N—H...N hydrogen bonds involving the imidazole N—H donors and N-atom acceptors of the unsaturated nitrogen of neighboring rings, forming layers parallel to (010).
