Synthesis, crystal packing and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase studies of 1,1'-(1,3-Phenylene)bis(1H-tetrazole)

The compound 1,1'-(1,3-phenylene)bis(1H-tetrazole) (1) has been grown while attempting the synthesis of a coordination polymer through metal salt mediated hydrothermal synthesis and their structures have been established by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Pillars involving each of the two independent molecules connected by π ••• π contacts are pivotal in the crystal packing of (1) . The computational study shows that it might lead molecules for the future drug against HIV
