The title compound, C8H5N5, was synthesized from phthalonitrile. The benzonitrile and tetrazole rings are inclined at a dihedral angle of 37.14 (11)°. In the intermolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the tetrazole rings of adjacent molecules, forming chains along the a axis.

Phthalonitrile (1.28 g, 0.01 mol), sodium azide (0.975 g, 0.015 mol), ammonium chloride (0.605 g, 0.011 mol) and DMF (15 ml) were added in a flask and reacted at 120 °C with stirring for 24 h. A mass of white solid was collected after solvents removed. The crude product was recrystallized by slowly evaporating a mixed solution of ethanol and water (2:1) to yield colorless prism-like crystals, suitable for X-ray analysis.
The H2 atom bound to N2 was located in a difference map and was refined freely. Other H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93 Å and included in the final cycles of

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Nitriles are close relatives of azoles and hydrazones and are parent compounds for the preparation of various functional organic materials having triazole, imidazole or tetrazole rings (Aykut İkizler & Sancak, 1992, 1995, 1998). Tetrazoles find wide application in the synthesis of medicinal products such as antihypertensive agents (Wexler et al., 1996; Schmidt & Schieffer, 2003; Satyanarayana et al., 2006), resolvents (Bekhit et al., 2004), anaesthetics (Rajasekaran & Thampi, 2004) and antifungal agents (Upadhayaya et al., 2004). We report herein the crystal structure of the title compound, 2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)benzonitrile, Fig 1 with its crystal packing shown in Figure 2, Table 1.
