5-Pentyl-1H-tetrazole

Abstract

The title compound C6H12N4, is one of a few known tetrazoles with an alkyl chain in the 5-position. The asymmetric unit contains two independent molecules. The molecules are linked by N—H...N interactions into chains with graph-set notation D(2) and C22(8) along [010]. The two independent molecules form a layered structure, the layers being composed of interdigitating strands of alternatingly oriented and nearly identical molecules.
