Abstract

Two energetic salts of the melaminium cation have been prepared and structurally characterized from room temperature X-ray single crystal diffraction data. Melaminium dinitramide (I), triclinic, P1¯, a = 6.6861(11), b = 6.9638(16), c = 10.447(2) A , α = 99.07(3), β = 98.30(3), γ = 108.50(3)°, V = 445.6(2) A3, and Z = 2. Melaminium nitrate (II), monoclinic, P21/c, a = 3.5789(7), b = 20.466(4), c = 10.060(2) A, β = 94.01(2)°, V = 735.0(3) A3, and Z = 4. The crystal structures of both salts show distinct monoprotonated melaminium cations and dinitramide- or nitrate anions, respectively. Efficient packing in the solid state is achieved by extensive hydrogen bonding between two-dimensional zigzag ribbons of the melaminium cations and the respective anions resulting in high densities of the solid state structures of 1.74 (I) and 1.71 g/cm3 (II).
