title: Energetic derivatives of 5-(5-amino-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1H-tetrazole.
abstract: This study presents the preparation of the novel nitrogen-rich compound 5-(5-amino-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1H-tetrazole (5) from commercially available chemicals in a five step synthesis. The more energetic derivatives with azido (6) and nitro (7) groups, as well as a diazene bridge (8) were also successfully prepared. The energetic compounds were comprehensively characterized by various means, including vibrational (IR, Raman) and multinuclear ((1)H, (13)C, (14)N, (15)N) NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and differential thermal analysis. The sensitivities towards important outer stimuli (impact, friction, electrostatic discharge) were determined according to BAM standards. The enthalpies of formation were calculated on the CBS-4M level of theory, revealing highly endothermic values, and were utilized to calculate the detonation parameters using EPXLO5 (6.02).
