Abstract:
In the crystal structure of the title compound, C5H2N4, each molecule is linked by N-H...N[triple-bond]C hydrogen bonds to four other molecules, thus forming a network that can be described as a twofold interpenetrated three-connected three-dimensional (10,3)-net. The interpenetrated nets are related by (010) translation. If only intermolecular hydrogen bonds are taken into account, these nets can be considered as independent. However, the interactions between the cyano groups from different nets indicate mutual assistance of the two nets during their formation.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
