1-(2-Azaniumylethyl)piperazine-1,4-diium trinitrate

Abstract

In the title salt, C6H18N33+·3NO3−, the piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation and the ethylammonium group is equatorial relative to the piperazine ring, and in an all-trans conformation. In the crystal, strong charge-assisted N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the piperazinediium trications and the nitrate anions into a three-dimensional network
