[C(H)(κN-NO₂)₂]⊖

Formula Unicode styled:

[C(H)(κN-NO₂)₂]⊖

Compound name(s):

dinitromethanide

Central atom:

Carbon

Charge on formula unit (QN):

1–

Attached groups:

H (hydrido)

NO₂ (nitro-κN)

Compound type:

Molecular

Notes:

The carbon is planar with the NO₂ groups: explained by the delocalisation of the occupied lone pair at the carbon atom with the planar NO₂ goups - a Z interaction.
