Energetic nitrogen rich salts of N,N-bis[1(2)H-tetrazol-5-yl]amine

Reactions of NA-bis-[1(2)H-tetrazol-5- yl]amme (H(2)Bta) with several high nitrogen molecules result in new nitrogen rich energetic salts (see figure). Densities, melting points, decomposition temperatures and elemental analyses are reported. Based on their calculated heats of formation, detonation properties, and thermal and hydrolytic stabilities, these stable compounds hold promise for energetic applications.
