(1R,2R)-1,2-Diphenyl-1,2-bis(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)ethane

Abstract

The title compound, C16H14N8, is a new chiral ligand designed for applications in supramolecular chemistry and Fe2+ spin-crossover complexes. The crystal structure shows a herring-bone arrangement of the molecules, which are mutually linked via intermolecular C—H...N interactions mainly donated by the alkyl and tetrazole H atoms.
