Tetra-aqua-bis-(tetra-zolido-κN)magnesium.

ABSTRACT: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Mg(CHN(4))(2)(H(2)O)(4)], the Mg(II) atom is six-coordinated by two N atoms from two tetra-zolide anions and four O atoms from four coordinated water mol-ecules in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The Mg atom is located on centres of inversion whereas the tetra-zolide anion and the water mol-ecules occupy general positions. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonding between the tetra-zolide anions and the coordinated water mol-ecules.
