Distrontium diphosphate, alpha-Sr2P2O7, has been refined in the Pnma space group. However, the strong anisotropy along the b direction for some of the O atoms suggests atomic scale disorder associated with the local loss of mirror symmetry and centrosymmetry.

Tetraphenylphosphonium tetrachlorooxovanadate(V) consists of anionic [OVCl4] square pyramids with local C4v symmetry. The V-O distances are 1.565 (3) Å, V-Cl is 2.2660 (6) Å, and the V atom is placed 0.527 (1) Å above the basal plane. The slightly squeezed tetraphenylphosphonium cations occupy positions with local S4 symmetry.

The first two representatives of alkoxynitrosoamines, namely, N,N'-dimethoxy-2,3-dimethyl-N,N'-dinitroso-2,3-butanediamine and N-formyl-N,N'-dimethoxy-2,3-dimethyl-N'-nitroso-2,3-butanediamine, have been studied and are isomorphic.

The title compound belongs to the family of bicyclo[2.2.0]hexanes. The C1-C4 and C3-C4 bond lengths [1.607 (3) and 1.592 (3) Å, respectively] of the two four-membered rings are significantly longer than the average bond length for such ring systems [1.554 (21) Å], which is obviously a result of angular strain.

The title molecule appears to be approximately planar and is found to be in the E conformation. An intramolecular hydrogen bond is formed between the NH group and the adjacent nitro group.

The molecules of the title compound are linked to form centrosymmetric dimers by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The C=O distance [1.225 (4) Å] is slightly longer than the standard distance range for such dimers (1.205-1.215 Å) and the C-O(H) distance [1.293 (3) Å] is slightly shorter than the standard distance of 1.308 Å.
