2-Nitro-1,3-dinitrooxypropane
The title compound, C 3 H 5 N 3 O 8 , was synthesized by reacting 2- nitropropane-1,3-diol with acetyl nitrate. The molecule is bisected by a crystallograpic mirror plane. In the crystal, the molecules pack in a ribbon-like fashion along the c axis, with the central nitro groups pointing in the same direction. C–H∙∙∙O contacts apparently provide some additional packing stabilization.
