3,5-Dinitropyridin-4(1H)-one monohydrate

Abstract

The three independent organic molecules of 3,5-dinitropyridin-4(1H)-one monohydrate, C5H3N3O5·H2O, each feature an N—H...Owater hydrogen bond. Each water molecule serves as hydrogen-bond donor to two carbonyl O atoms; these hydrogen bonds give rise to a layer motif. Two of the three formula units lie on special positions of site symmetry 2.
