Hypothesis
The study aims to describe the crystal structure of a new sodium tetrazole compound.
Conclusion
The crystal structure reveals a three-dimensional network formed by hydrogen bonds between dimeric units and organic anions.
Supporting Evidence
- The sodium atom is in a distorted octahedral environment defined by six oxygen atoms.
- Two water molecules act as bridging ligands, forming dimeric units.
- The organic anion consists of nearly coplanar pyridine and tetrazole rings.
Takeaway
Scientists studied a new compound made of sodium and tetrazole, which is a type of chemical. They found out how its atoms are arranged in a special structure.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized and analyzed using X-ray crystallography.
Limitations
The study does not report any phase transitions in the temperature range tested.
