5-(3-Nitro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)tetra-zole, C4H3N7O2, was synthesized from cyano-pyrazole via the Huisgen reaction. The asymmetric unit contains two mol-ecules, each displaying notable torsion between the pyrazole and tetra-zole systems. N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and π-stacking inter-actions create a double-wide mol-ecular chain, while further N-H⋯N and weaker C-H⋯N inter-actions stitch these chains into a supra-molecular hydrogen-bonded framework. From a Hirshfeld surface analysis, the closest contacts between mol-ecules are through the N-H⋯N inter-actions between the tetra-zole and pyrazole rings with N⋯H/H⋯N making up the largest contributing contacts in the fingerprint plot.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
