Abstract:In the title compound, C(10)H(6)N(4)O(4)S(2), (I), the molecule has a centre of inversion. The structure is a positional isomer of 5,5'-dinitro-2,2'-dithiodipyridine [Brito, Mundaca, Cárdenas, López-Rodríguez & Vargas (2007). Acta Cryst. E63, o3351-o3352], (II). The 3-nitropyridine fragment of (I) shows excellent agreement with the bonding geometries of (II). The most obvious differences between them are in the S-S bond length [2.1167 (12) A in (I) and 2.0719 (11) A in (II)], and in the C-C(ipso)-N(ring) [119.… Show more
