Abstract:
The title compound, C3H2Cl3N3, crystallizes as the Z isomer with respect to the C=N bond. The -C(NH2)=NCN functional group is effectively planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.016 angstrom), with only the three Cl atoms out of the molecular plane. A strong network of N-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds forms dimers which are associated into ribbons in the crystal structure. Hydrogen bonding is suspected to be the cause of the near-equivalence of the formal C-N and C=N bonds (Delta(CN) = 0.008 angstrom)
