Abstract

The title compound, C3H5N3O8, was synthesized by reacting 2-nitro-propane-1,3-diol with acetyl nitrate. The mol-ecule is bisected by a crystallograpic mirror plane. In the crystal, the mol-ecules pack in a ribbon-like fashion along the c axis, with the central nitro groups pointing in the same direction. C-H⋯O contacts apparently provide some additional packing stabilization.
