Abstract
The title compound, C3H6N2O, crystallizes with imposed twofold symmetry in the space group I4(1)/a. The five-membered ring displays a half-chair conformation. N-H···O hydrogen bonds connect the molecules to form R2(2)(8) rings and thence ribbons parallel to the a and b axes. These intersect via O2H2 rings involving longer H···O contacts. The crystal was merohedrally twinned. Preliminary indications of the higher symmetry space group I4(1)/amd, which would require the ring to be planar, proved to be incorrect. A previous brief report of the structure in Fdd2 is also probably incorrect.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section C: Structural Chemistry is continuing its transition to a journal that publishes exciting science with structural content, in particular, important results relating to the chemical sciences. Section C is the journal of choice for the rapid publication of articles that highlight interesting research facilitated by the determination, calculation or analysis of structures of any type, other than macromolecular structures. Articles that emphasize the science and the outcomes that were enabled by the study are particularly welcomed. Authors are encouraged to include mainstream science in their papers, thereby producing manuscripts that are substantial scientific well-rounded contributions that appeal to a broad community of readers and increase the profile of the authors.
