Abstract
and n = 4. The planar amide groups in biuret have normal dimensions and are slightly inclined and trans to each other, with an internal hydrogen-bond. The biuret molecules lie in buckled sheets parallel to (100), one molecule being joined to each of three neighbours by N H . • • O hydrogenbonds. Tunnels run through the structure parallel to the y-axis. Water molecules form zig-zag chains along these tunnels, alternate sites lying across apparent centres of symmetry. Under the conditions of the present experiments, only three-fifths of the available water-sites are filled. The watermolecules are loosely hydrogen-bonded to amide oxygen atoms of the biuret structure, but the distances between adjacent water sites are remarkably short (2.48/~).
