trans-2,5-Dimethylpiperazine-1,4-diium dinitrate

Abstract

In the structure of the title salt, C6H16N2 (2+)·2NO3 (-), the cations are connected to the anions through bifurcated N-H⋯(O,O) and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating corrugated layers parallel to the (100) plane. The organic cation is centrosymmetric and the diprotonated piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation, with the methyl groups occupying equatorial positions.
