Abstract
Tetraammonium adamantyl tetranitrate (TAATN) crystallizes in the tetragonal space groupP4−21,c witha=10.046(1),c=8.980(2)Å, andZ=2. The positions of the heavy atoms were determined with direct methods and the hydrogen atoms were located with difference Fourier methods. The structure was refined to a finalR value of 0.038. Each tetravalent tetraammonium adamantyl cation is surrounded by twelve hydrogen-bonded nearest-neighbor nitrate anions while each anion in turn is surrounded by three nearest-neighbor tetravalent cations.
