The four-membered ring is buckled 13.0 ° (0= 167.0°). The azetidinium moiety is linked to the C1- ion through a hydrogen bond [O-H...C1 = 3.166 (5) A].

Isonicotinic acid hydrazide - a reinvestigation

C6HvN30, orthorhombic, P2~2121, a = 14.915 (15), b=ll.400 (10), c=3.835 (5) A, Din= 1"417 (7), De= 1"395 g cm -3 and Z=4. The structure was refined by the least-squares method to an R of 0.072 for 699 observed reflexions. The angle between the mean planes of the pyridine ring and the acid hydrazide moiety is 18.1 °. The molecules are held together in the crystal by a network of N-H...N hydrogen bonds.

The structure of 3-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1,1,2,2-cyclopropanetetracarbonitrile

Crystals of C I4HsN40 are monoclinic, space group P21, Unit-cell constants are a = 13.241(4), b = 7.446 (2), c = 6.436 (2)/A, B= 93.23 (2) °. V= 633.5 /A3, Z = 2, Dob s = 1.30 (flotation), Dealt = 1.300 Mg m -3 and #(Cu Ka) = 0.72 mm -1. The structure, solved by direct methods, has been refined to an R value of 3.5% using 1245 intensity measurements. The combined effect of electron-withdrawing and –donating substituents on the geometry of the cyclopropane ring is discussed.
