3,3-Dinitroazetidinium chloride

Abstract

In the title gem-dinitroazetidinium chloride salt, C3H6N3O4+·Cl−, the cations and anions lie on a mirror plane. The azetidine ring is virtually planar, with a mean deviation from the plane of 0.0569 Å. The dihedral angle between the two nitro groups is 90.00 (5)°. In the crystal, the ions are linked by N—H...Cl interactions, forming a chain along the c-axis direction, and C—H...O interactions, forming a layer parallel to (010).
