Abstract
Two structures of the trinitromethane anion are reported. In tetra-n-b utylammonium trinitromethanide, (C4H9)(4)N+. [C(NO2)(3)](-), the [C(NO 2)(3)](-) anion adopts the commonly observed C-2v conformation, while in the Cs salt, caesium trinitromethanide, Cs+.[C(NO2)(3)](-), it adop ts a distorted propeller conformation. Both stuctures exhibit cation-a nion interactions that may influence the structure of the anion.
