R. Gilardi and R. N. Evans

Abstract: The title compound, C₆H₁₀N₂O₈·2H₂O, involves a cyclohexane with four hydroxyl and two nitro group substituents. In the crystal form reported here, the molecules lie across crystallographic inversion centres. The crystal structure contains an extensive network of hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl and nitro groups and the water molecules. The water molecule is involved in every hydrogen bond.
