Crystal structures of the three closely related compounds: bis[(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)methyl]nitramide, triaminoguanidinium 5-({[(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)methyl](nitro)amino}methyl)tetrazol-1-ide, and diammonium bis[(tetrazol-1-id-5-yl)methyl]nitramide monohydrate

Abstract

In the molecule of neutral bis[(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)methyl]nitramide, (I), C4H6N10O2, there are two intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, N—H...N hydrogen bonds link molecules, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (-201) and weak C—H...O, C—H...N hydrogen bonds, and intermolecular π–π stacking completes the three-dimensional network. The anion in the molecular salt, triaminoguanidinium 5-({[(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)methyl](nitro)amino}methyl)tetrazol-1-ide, (II), CH9N6+·C4H5N10O2−, displays intramolecular π–π stacking and in the crystal, N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the components of the structure, forming a three-dimensional network. In the crystal of diammonium bis[(tetrazol-1-id-5-yl)methyl]nitramide monohydrate, (III), 2NH4+·C4H4N10O22−·H2O, O—H...N, N—H...N, and N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the components of the structure into a three-dimensional network. In addition, there is intermolecular π–π stacking. In all three structures, the central N atom of the nitramide is mainlysp2-hybridized. Bond lengths indicate delocalization of charges on the tetrazole rings for all three compounds. Compound (II) was found to be a non-merohedral twin and was solved and refined in the major component.
