(3-Amino-pyrazin-4-ium-2-carboxyl-ate-κN,O)diaqua-zinc(II) dinitrate
Abstract:
The water-coordinated Zn(II) atom in the title salt, [Zn(C(5)H(5)N(3)O(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](NO(3))(2), is N,O-chelated by a zwitterionic amino-pyraziniocarboxyl-ate unit; the metal atom, which lies on a center of inversion, shows an octa-hedral coordination. The nitrate ion inter-acts indirectly, through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, adjacent cations and anions are connected by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network motif. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with two minor components of 15.1 (1) and 8.0 (1)%.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
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...
