Tetrazoles. 15. Electrical conductivity of 5-phenyltetrazole and its salts in water and organic solvents

The electrical conductivity of 5-phenyltetrazole and its potassium, cesium, and ammonium salts in water, acetone, acetonitrile, nitromethane, and dimethyl sul-foxide has been studied. 5-Phenyltetrazole and its ammonium salt exists in an associated state in organic solvents. The potassium and cesium salts of 5-phenyltetrazole are practically completely dissociated in water, acetonitrile, nitro-methane, and dimethyl sulfoxide when the concentration is less than 10−3 M.
