2-(4-Aminophenyl)-1-phenyldiazenium 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate

Abstract

In the title salt, C12H12N3 +·C6H2N3O7 −, the diazenyl group of the 4-(phenyl­diazen­yl)aniline mol­ecule is protonated and forms a hydrogen bond with the phenolate O-atom acceptor of the picrate anion. Structure extension occurs through two symmetrical inter-ion three-centre amine N—H⋯O,O′nitro hydrogen-bonding associations [graph set R 1 2(4)], giving a convoluted two-dimensional network structure.
