5,5′-(Butane-1,4-diyl)bis(1H-tetrazole) dihydrate

Abstract

The title compound, C6H10N8·2H2O, was prepared by the reaction of hexanedinitrile and sodium azide. The di-1H-tetrazole molecule lies on a crystallographic centre of inversion and is linked to the water molecules by N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional supramolecular structure in the crystal.
