Hydrogen bonding in creatininium nitrate

F. Berrah, H. Lamraoui and N. Benali-Cherif

Abstract: In the title compound, C₄H₈N₃O⁺·NO₃^-, creatininium cations and nitrate anions are linked to each other through strong hydrogen bonds, formed by all H atoms covalently bonded to the N atoms. Short contacts are also observed between the anions. This complex three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds ensures the cohesion of the ionic structure.
