Conclusions

  1. 1.

    We carried out an x-ray diffraction structural study of the stable β-modification of 1,2,3-propanetriol trinitrate and showed that the bond lengths and bond angles in the CONO2 groups have ordinary values. The distortion of the tetrahedral coordination of the carbon atoms was attributed to manifestation of the d effect.

  2. 2.

    The electronic structure of this compound was calculated by the CNDO/2 method.
