Crystal structure of creatininium 5-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-1,3-dimethylbarbiturate monohydrate: a potential anticonvulsant agent

Abstract

The title mol­ecular salt exhibits anti­convulsant and hypnotic activities. In the crystal, the 5-(2,4-di­nitro­phen­yl)-N,N-di­methyl­barbiturate anion is linked to the creatininium cation by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to the ab plane.
