Structure of the trans-dimer of 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane
Abstract
The crystal structure of the trans-dimer of 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane has been established by X-ray diffraction studies. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/n, with Z= 2 and unit-cell constants a= 5.929 0(18), b= 10.112(3), c= 8.751(4)Å, and β= 90.80(3)°. Although the NN- and ON-bond distances are normal for nitroso compounds, the CN-distance was significantly longer than expected.
