Tetraaquabis(tetrazolido-κN1)magnesium

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Mg(CHN4)2(H2O)4], the MgII atom is six-coordinated by two N atoms from two tetrazolide anions and four O atoms from four coordinated water molecules in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The Mg atom is located on centres of inversion whereas th...

Description
Summary:In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Mg(CHN4)2(H2O)4], the MgII atom is six-coordinated by two N atoms from two tetrazolide anions and four O atoms from four coordinated water molecules in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The Mg atom is located on centres of inversion whereas the tetrazolide anion and the water molecules occupy general positions. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonding between the tetrazolide anions and the coordinated water molecules.
