Dipotassium ethane-1,1-diylbis(diazeniumdiolate) monohydrate

N. Arulsamy and D. S. Bohle

Abstract: The ethane-1,1-bis(diazeniumdiolate) anion in the title compound, 2K⁺·C₂H₄N₄O₄^2-·H₂O, acts as a complex bridging ligand. Both the N and the O atoms of the diazeniumdiolate substituents are coordinated to the K⁺ cations, revealing the delocalization of a negative charge over the four-atom groups.
