The molecule of the title compound, C(2)H(2)N(6)O(4), consists of three planar fragments, namely a tetrazole ring, a nitromethyl group and a nitro group. The nitro group and the tetrazole cycle are arranged in the same plane, but the planar nitromethyl group is located nearly orthogonal to this plane. The molecules are packed in the crystal via van der Waals interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
