A second crystal polymorph of anilinium picrate

G. Smith, U. D. Wermuth and P. C. Healy

Abstract: The crystal structure of a second monoclinic polymorph of anilinium picrate (C₆H₈N⁺·C₆H₂N₃O₇^-) shows a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded polymer with strong primary interspecies interactions involving the proximal phenolate and adjacent nitro group O-atom acceptors and separate anilinium H-atom donors in two cyclic (6) associations. Other nitro-O-anilinium-H hydrogen bonds together with heteromolecular - interactions are also present.
