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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
