Hexane-1,6-diammonium dipicrate dihydrate

Z.-D. Lin and J.-Y. Lu

Abstract: The title salt, C₆H₁₈N₂²⁺·2C₆H₂N₃O₇^-·2H₂O, consists of one hexane-1,6-diammonium cation, two picrate anions and two water molecules of crystallization. The cation lies across a centre of symmetry. The O atoms of the water molecules, and the phenolate group and nitro groups of the picrate anions act as acceptors to form N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure, this leads to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
