4,4′-(1,2,4,5-Tetrazine-3,6-diyl)dibenzonitrile

Abstract

Molecules of the title compound, C16H8N6, lie on crystallographic inversion centres. A dihedral angle of 16.1 (1)° is formed between the central tetrazine ring and the plane of each cyanophenyl group. The molecules form stacks along [100] with a perpendicular interplanar separation of 3.25 (1) Å. C—H...N interactions are formed between molecules in neighbouring stacks.
