Conclusion

The study presents the crystal structure of 5-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-1H-indole monohydrate, revealing strong hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions that stabilize the molecular packing.

Supporting Evidence

  • The interplanar angles between the benzene and tetrazole rings are 8.71° and 1.32°.
  • Strong hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains and layers.
  • Cohesion between layers is provided by π-π interactions.

Takeaway

This study shows how certain molecules stick together in a crystal, which helps us understand their structure better.

Methodology

X-ray crystallography was used to determine the crystal structure of the compound.
