title: N,N',N",N"'-Tetraethylterephthalamidinium bis(tetrazolate).
abstract: The crystal structure of the title 2:1 salt of tetrazole and a substituted terephthalamidine, C(16)H(28)N(4)(2+).2CHN(4)(-), contains an infinite network of hydrogen bonds, with short N.N distances of 2.820 (2) and 2.8585 (19) A between the tetrazolate anion and the amidinium cation. Involvement of the lateral N atoms of the tetrazole in the hydrogen bonding appears to be a typical binding pattern for the tetrazolate anion.
