2-(2H-Tetrazol-5-yl)pyridinium chloride

J. Dai and X.-C. Wen

Abstract: In the title compound, C₆H₆N₅⁺·Cl^-, the pyridinium and tetrazole rings are essentially coplanar. The pyridine N atoms are protonated. In the crystal structure, molecules are connected via N-HCl, C-HCl, C-HN and N-HN hydrogen bonds into layers that are parallel to the (001) plane. There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit which are located on mirror planes.
