The molecule of the title compound, C2H2N6O4, consists of three planar frag
ments, namely a tetrazole ring, a nitromethyl group and a nitro group. The
nitro group and the tetrazole cycle are arranged in the same plane, but the
planar nitromethyl group is located nearly orthogonal to this plane. The m
olecules are packed in the crystal via van der Waals interactions.
