Abstract :
The title compound, C11H9F3N4S, was synthesized from 2-(trifluoromethyl)aniline by a multi-step reaction. It crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group Pna21, with one molecule in the asymmetric unit, and is constructed from a pair of aromatic rings [2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl and tetrazole], which are twisted by 76.8 (1)° relative to each other because of significant steric hindrance of the trifluoromethyl group at the ortho position of the benzene ring. In the crystal, very weak C—H⋯N and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π stacking interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional network. To further analyse the intermolecular interactions, a Hirshfeld surface analysis, as well as interaction energy calculations, were performed.
