✦ Synopsis

Nitrodiazoacetic acid was prepared and its structure determined by tow temperature X-ray crystallography. There is good agreement between the experimentally determined structure and that calculated at the ab initio rhf13-21G level of theory. The acid is stable in neat trtfluoroacetic acid and less stable in neutral non-polar solutions. In neutral polar solutions it undergoes rapid decarboxylation to yield nitrodiazomethane.
