Comment top

Many molecular compounds exhibit interesting magnetic and luminescent properties (Haasnoot, 2000). One of the requirements for posessing such macroscopic properties is to create interactions between the molecular units and the active sites within the crystal lattices. 1,2,4-Triazole and its derivatives are interesting bridging ligands. In the title compound the triazole and the pyrimidine rings are almost in the same plane, the dihedral angles between them is 2.9 (13)°.

Experimental top

A mixture of 1.2 g (0.012 mol) of pyrimidin-2-amine and 2.0 g (0.011 mol) of diformylhydrazine was heated slowly to 160–170 °C for 30 min. The crystals, which separated on cooling, were collected and recrystallized from water and acetonitrile and dried on air. Yield 0.7 g (43%). Anal. Calc. for C6H5N5 (%): C, 50.52; H, 5.30; N 44.18. Found (%): C, 50.59; H, 5.36; N 44.23.

Refinement top

Hydrogen atoms were included into calculated positions and refined as riding on the C atoms with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C). Friedel pairs were averaged for the data used on the final cycles of the refinement.

Special details top

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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.
