The coordination compound of [Sr(CHZ) (TNR)(H2O) (OH)]2· 2H2O (TNR: 2,4,6-trinitroesorcinol, CHZ:carbohydrazide) was prepared by reacting CHZ solution and strontium styphnate solution (obtained through the reaction of strontium carbonate and styphnic acid). The molecular structure was characterized by using X-ray diffraction analysis, element analysis and FTIR analysis. The crystal belongs to triclinic with space group P(-1). The unit cell parameters were as follows: a=0.725 2(2) nm, b=1.021 2(2) nm, c=1.144 0(2) nm, α=69.50(3)°, β=78.82(3)°, γ=84.64(3)° and Z=2. The thermal decomposition of the compound is studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry thermogravimetry-derivative (TG-DTG) techniques. CCDC: 269310.
