by Barclay, T. M.; Cordes, A. W.; Oakley, R. T.; Preuss, K. E.; Zhang, H. Z.

The synthesis and crystal structure of 2,5-diamino-3,6-dichloropyrazine, C4H4Cl2N4, are described. The centrosymmetric molecule has an exocyclic C-N distance of 1.362(3) Angstrom and a nearly planar amine group [the angles at nitrogen sum to 351(2)degrees]. Within the crystal, the molecules form a ribbon through two centrosymmetric pairs of N-H...N hydrogen-bond interactions, where the N...N distance is 3.110(3) Angstrom.
