Syntheses of the primary explosives copper (II) 5-chlorotetrazolate and copper (II) bromotetrazolate are described. The physical and thermal stabilities of both compounds were determined, and their explosive ability was characterized. Additionally, the first reported X-ray structure of a 5-chlorotetrazole is reported.
