Abstract

The Rb(NTO) · H2O crystal has been synthesized by reaction of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole-5-one (NTO) with Rb2CO3 in aqueous solution. Its crystal structure has been determined. The crystal belongs to monoclinic system. Crystal structure data: space group P211n; a=0.633 0(1),b = 0.824 1(2),c =1.296 4(3) nm; β =97.90(1)°;V= 0.669 9 (2) nm3,Z = 4,D c = 2.306 g/cm3, μ = 7.365 nm−1, F(000) = 448. An eight coordinated compound is formed between Rb+ with oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms. A layer structure is formed by coordination bonds and hydrogen bonds. The thermal decomposition mechanism of this coordination compound is discussed.
