2-{4-[5-(3-Pyridyl)-2H-tetrazol-2-ylmethyl]phenyl}benzonitrile

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H14N6, there are two molecules with similar conformations in the asymmetric unit. The pyridine and tetrazole rings are nearly coplanar; they are twisted from each other by dihedral angles of only 8.7 (2) and 7.4 (2)°. The nearer benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 69.9 (2) and 88.5 (2)° with the tetrazole ring in the two molecules.
