Abstract

A molecular packing analysis of the hydrogen‐bonded layer structure of maleic hydrazide shows that even in such a structure, the van der Waals energy is the dominant component of the lattice energy. The hydrogen‐bond energy of the observed structure is greater than that for alternative structures based on a different mode of hydrogen bonding, and this makes the observed more stable.
