3,5-Bis(2-pyridyl)-4-p-chlorophenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole

The title compound, C₁₈H₁₂ClN₅, was prepared by the reaction of 4,4'-dichlorophenylphazoanilide and N,N'-dipyridoylhydrazine. The X-ray analysis revealed that the pyridyl groups, the substituted benzene ring and the 1,2,4-triazole ring do not share a common plane.
