چکیده
The redetermined structure of 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triaza-cyclo-hexane, C(3)H(6)N(6)O(6), at 90 (2) K has ortho-rhom-bic (Pbca) symmetry. It is of inter-est with respect to energetic compounds. The structure was originally investigated through X-ray diffraction by Hultgren [(1936). J. Chem. Phys.4, 84]. Later X-ray investigations were completed by McCrone [(1950). Anal. Chem.22, 954-955] and Harris, Reed & Gluyas [(1959). AFOSR-TR-59-165 Ohio State University Research Foundation, Columbus, Ohio, USA]. A single-crystal neutron diffraction study was performed by Choi & Prince [(1972). Acta Cryst. B28, 2857-2862] to ascertain the H-atom positions, which had not been defined by the earlier X-ray diffraction studies. All previous studies were performed at or near room temperature. The structure provided is the α polymorph of the title compound. The ring atoms are arranged in the chair conformation with two nitro groups occupying pseudo-equatorial positions and the remaining nitro group is axial. The crystal packing is stabilized by close intramolecular interactions from one H atom in each methylene group to O atoms of adjacent nitro groups, ranging from 2.251 to 2.593 Å.

The title compound, C(21)H(36)O(3), was obtained by treatment of cyclo-hexa-necarbaldehyde with catalytic toluene-4-sulfonic acid monohydrate. This redetermination results in a crystal structure with significantly higher precision than the original determination [Diana & Ganis (1963 ▶). Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei, 35, 80-88]. The asymmetric unit contains one sixth of the mol-ecule, the formula uni...

The structure of the title compound, C(19)H(28)O(2), has been redermined at 295 (2) K, with much improved precision. The structure and mol-ecular packing of the title compound was first reported by Coiro et al. [Acta Cryst. (1973). B29, 1404-1409] by means of potential-energy calculations. The cell parameters in this study differ considerably in space group C2. It is a derivative of testosteron...

The structure of the title compound, [Zn(4)(C(40)H(24)N(8))(4)]·8C(3)H(7)NO·3H(2)O, has been redetermined at 100 K. The redetermination is of significantly higher precision and gives further insight into the disorder of pyridyl groups and solvent mol-ecules. The mol-ecules of (5,10,15,20-tetra-4-pyridyl-porphyrinato)zinc(II) (ZnTPyP) form homomolecular cyclic tetra-mers by coordination of a per...

Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem.453, 98-106] has been redetermined. The Fe(II) atom in the complex cation is coordinated by a cyclo-penta-dienyl ring, two carbonyl ligands and an acetonitrile mol-ecule display...

In the six-membered ring of the low-temperature crystal structure of benzofurazan 1-oxide, C(6)H(4)N(2)O(2), the two C atoms adjacent to the N atoms are linked by a delocalized aromatic bond [1.402 (2) Å]; each is connected to its neighbour by a longer, more localized, bond [1.420 (2), 1.430 (2) Å]. However, the next two bonds in the ring approximate double bonds [1.357 (2), 1.366 (2) Å]. As su...
