4-[(2H-Tetra-zol-2-yl)meth-yl]benzonitrile.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(9)H(7)N(5), was synthesized by reaction of 4-(bromomethyl)benzonitrile and 2H-tetrazole in the presence of KOH. The relative orientation of the planar tetra-zole ring and the methyl-benzonitrile moiety is (-)-anti-clinal. The crystal packing is dominated by van der Waals inter-actions.
