Description

5-(Trifluoromethyl)-2H-tetrazole is a compound that has been found to be an effective herbicide. It has been shown to have a significant effect on the growth of plants, and has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids in bacteria. 5-(Trifluoromethyl)-2H-tetrazole binds to the carbonyl group, hydroxyl group, and crystalline polymorphs of these compounds, preventing their formation. The compound is also capable of binding with metal ions such as Cu(II) and Fe(III), which results in its high toxicity to plants.
5-(Trifluoromethyl)-2H-tetrazole is usually crystallized in two different forms called polymorphs: alpha (α) and beta (β). These two forms are chemically identical but differ in their physical properties. Alpha crystal form is soluble in ether while beta crystal form is
