(2,4,6-Trinitrophenyl)guanidine (picrylguanidine), C 7 H 6 N 6 O 6, from the reaction of picrylsulfonic acid with guanidine carbonate, forms a three-dimensional framework structure through extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions, extending the centrosymmetric cyclic R 2 2 (16) dimer association which includes duplex R 2 2 (8) guanidine N HO nitro interactions. The guanidine substituent chain has an endo [Ph N C(NH 2 ) 2 ] bond sequence rather than the less sterically encumbered exo [Ph NH C NH(NH 2 )] sequence of the tautomeric form. As a result, there is significant bond-angle distortion about C( N ) of the aromatic ring.
