Crystal structure of 2-azido-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile

In the title compound, C5HN7, the nitrile and azido substituents are close to being coplanar with the central ring. Molecules in the crystal are linked via an N—H...N hydrogen bond to a nitrile acceptor, forming a chain extending along the c-axis direction.
