Abstract: In the title compound, C₆H₁₆N₄O₄·4H₂O, the tetrazinane molecule lies across an inversion centre. The tetrazinane ring adopts a chair conformation, and all imino H atoms occupy axial positions. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked through O-HO, O-HN and N-HO hydrogen bonds with water molecules generating a three-dimensional network.
