Two Energetic Ionic Materials: the Biguanidium Perchlorates

The structures of two energetic biguanidium salts have been determined frow low-temperature X-ray diffraction data collected at 100 K. Biguanidium perchlorate, C₂H₈N₅⁺.ClO₄^-, and biguanidium diperchlorate, C₂H₉N₅²⁺.2ClO₄^-, have structures characterized by twisted cations and extensive hydrogen bonding.
