The nitration of tetraiodoethylene (7) yields 1,1‐diiodo‐2,2‐dinitroethylene (8). The latter reacts with alkylamines 9 or alkyldiamines 11 to give the corresponding acyclic 1,1‐diamino‐2,2‐dinitroethylenes 10 or their cyclic analogs 12, respectively. On the basis of liquid and solid‐state 13 C and 15 N NMR data, x‐ray analysis and ab initio calculations, we suggest that the title compounds are always zwitterionic and that the C A –C N bond is not a true double bond.
