1,2-Bis(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)ethane

Abstract

The title compound, C14H8N6O12, is centrosymmetric, the mid-point of the central C—C bond being located on an inversion centre. Two of the three independent nitro groups are disordered over two sites, with a site-occupancy ratio of 0.513 (3):0.487 (3). Weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
