1-Isopropylideneamino-1H-tetrazol-5-amine

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C4H8N6, assumes an approximately planar structure, the methyl C atoms and the C atom to which they are bonded being out of the mean tetrazole ring plane by 0.108 and 0.139, and 0.144 Å, respectively. π–π stacking between parallel tetrazole rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.4663 (11) Å] is observed in the crystal structure. Intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonding further helps to stabilize the crystal structure.
