Melamine (1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine): a neutron diffraction study at 14 K

A. Cousson, B. Nicolaï and F. Fillaux

Abstract: The single-crystal neutron diffraction technique was used to determine the crystal structure of melamine, C₃H₆H₆, at 14 K. The molecule is nearly planar. There are three crystallographically inequivalent amine groups with different geometries, the asymmetric unit being the complete molecule.
