Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cs2(C2N10)]n, comprises a Cs+ cation, and one-half of a 5,5′-diazenediylditetrazolide anion. The Cs+ cation is six-coordinated by N atoms from six 5,5′-diazenediylditetrazolide ligands. Each 5,5′-diazenediylditetrazolide ligand is surrounded by 12 Cs+ cations, coordinating through ten N atoms. The Cs+ cations are arranged in a chain along the a-axis direction with a Cs⋯Cs separation of 4.4393 (10) Å. Such coordination leads to the formation of the three-dimensional framework.
