title: 4,5-Di-amino-3-[(E,E)-4-(4,5-di-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)buta-1,3-dien-yl]-4H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ium chloride.
abstract: The title compound, C8H13N10 (+)·Cl(-), is the monochlorhydrate salt of an aromatic bis-(di-amino-triazole). The cation is centrosymmetric, lying about an inversion centre (Ci symmetry) because the acidic H atom is disordered over two centrosymmetrically related ring N atoms, with equal multiplicity. It is noteworthy that protonation occurs at an N atom of the ring, instead of at the C-NH2 or N-NH2 amino groups. The chloride anions are also in special positions, as they lie on binary axes, and so the crystallographically independent unit contains half of a formula unit. The N atom of the C-NH2 group is sp (2)-hybridized and the amino group is coplanar with the triazole ring [dihedral angle = 5 (3)°], while the N atom of the N-NH2 amino group is pyramidal. The C=C bonds are in E conformations and the cation is flat because the conformation of the carbon chain is fully extended. The chloride anions are hexa-coordinated, in a distorted trigonal-prismatic geometry, and they are involved, as acceptors, in six hydrogen bonds. Chains of hydrogen-bonded cations, running along c and a + c, are generated by c-glide and C 2 rotation, respectively. This combination of N-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds leads to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
