3-Chloro-6-[2-(cyclopentylidene)hydrazin-1-yl]pyridazine

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C9H11ClN4, contains two virtually planar molecules that differ in conformation about the bond connecting the hydrazine and pyridazine units. The 3-chloro-6-hydrazinylpyridazine and cyclopentane groups are oriented at dihedral angles of 4.5 (3) and 8.8 (4)° in the two molecules. In the crystal, the molecules form a one dimensional polymeric structure extending along the a axis via N—H...N hydrogen bonds. The crystal stucired was an inversion twin [ratio of the twin domains = 0.73 (9):0.27 (9)].
