Description
Summary:The title compound, C3H6N4O2, exhibits partial disorder with the refined occupancy ratios of the two components being 0.582 (5):0.418 (5). In the major component, the nitroso groups have a relative syn spatial arrangement [O=N...N=O pseudo-torsion angle = 1.1 (4)°], whereas the other component has an anti disposition [177.6 (1)°]. The N—N=O moieties are almost coplanar with a dihedral angle of 5.3 (3)°, while in the minor occupied set of atoms, this angle is 8 (1)°. In both components, the imidazolidine ring adopts a twisted conformation on the C—C bond and the crystal structure shows the strain of this ring according to the N—CH2—CH2—N torsion angles [25.9 (5) and −23.8 (7)°]. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
