Metizolam contains a thiophene ring fused to a diazepine ring, which is a seven member ring with the two nitrogen constituents located at R1 and R4. Thiophene is a five member aromatic ring with one sulfur atom. This forms the thienodiazepine core of metizolam. An ethyl chain is bound to this bicyclic structure at R7.

Additionally, an R2 chlorine-substituted phenyl ring is bound to this structure at R5. Metizolam also contains a triazole ring fused to and incorporating R1 and R2 of its diazepine ring. Deschloroetizolam shares this fused triazole ring substitution with certain [[benzodiazepine]] substances, called triazolobenzodiazepines (distinguished by the suffix "-zolam").

Additionally, an R2 chlorine-substituted phenyl ring is bound to this structure at R5. Metizolam also contains a triazole ring fused to and incorporating R1 and R2 of its diazepine ring, classifying it as a thienotriazolodiazepine. Deschloroetizolam shares this fused triazole ring substitution with certain [[benzodiazepine]] substances, called triazolobenzodiazepines (distinguished by the suffix "-zolam").
