title: 2-(1H-Tetra-zol-5-yl)benzonitrile.
abstract: The title compound, C(8)H(5)N(5), was synthesized from phthalonitrile. The benzonitrile and tetra-zole rings are inclined at a dihedral angle of 37.14 (11)°. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the tetra-zole rings of adjacent mol-ecules, forming chains along the a axis.
