Decane-1,10-diaminium dinitrate

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C10H26N22+·2NO3−, exhibits a back-to-back paired double-stacked packing arrangement culminating in an overall double zigzag pattern of the dications. Each pair of double-stacked dications is surrounded by a ring of ten nitrate anions. An intricate three-dimensional N---H...O and N---H...(O,O) hydrogen-bonding network exists in the crystal structure.
