4-Acetyl­piperazinium picrate

In the title salt, C(6)H(13)N(2)O(+)·C(6)H(2)N(3)O(7) (−) (systematic name: 4-acetyl­piperazin-1-ium 2,4,6-tri­nitro­phenolate), the piperazin-1-ium ring has a slightly distorted chair conformation. In the picrate anion, the mean planes of the two o-NO(2) and p-NO(2) groups are twisted with respect to the benzene ring by 15.0 (2), 68.9 (4) and 4.4 (3)°, respectively. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed, linking the ions into an infinite chain along [010]. In addition, weak cation–anion C—H⋯O inter­molecular inter­actions and a weak π–π stacking inter­action between the benzene rings of the anions, with an inter-centroid distance of 3.771 (8) Å, help to stabilize the crystal packing, giving an overall sheet structure lying parallel to (100). Disorder was modelled for one of the O atoms in one of the o-NO(2) groups over two sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.57 (6):0.43 (6).
