Intermolecular hydrogen bonding of the two independent molecules of N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-L-leucine.
The title compound, C(13)H(15)N(3)O(7), crystallizes as two independent molecules which differ in their conformation. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the amide and carboxylic acid groups as N-H.O=C interactions results in the formation of one-dimensional chains with N.O distances of 2.967 (6) and 3.019 (6) A. Neighbouring chains are linked by C=O.H-O interactions to form a two-dimensional network, with O.O distances of 2.675 (6) and 2.778 (6) A.
