Abstract:
In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(4)H(7)N(4)O(+)·Cl(-)·2H(2)O, adjacent cations are connected to one another through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming infinite chains along the b axis. These chains are further hydrogen bonded to the chloride anions and water mol-ecules, resulting in a three-dimensional network. The pyrimidine rings of adjacent mol-ecules are arranged in an anti-parallel manner above each other with centroid-centroid distances of 3.435 (1) Å, indicative of π-π inter-actions.

Ionic Compounds: Formulas and Nomenclature
Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
