Tetrazine Explosives

Abstract

Abstract The synthesis and properties of various 1,2,4,5‐tetrazine explosives and energetic materials are described. These are the nitrate and perchlorate salts of 3,6‐diguanidino‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine, the nitrate and perchlorate salts of 3,6‐diguanidino‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine‐1,4‐di‐N‐oxide, 3,6‐bis(1 H ‐1,2,3,4‐tetrazol‐5‐ylamino)‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine and its 1,4‐di‐N‐oxide derivative, 3,3′‐azobis(6‐amino‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine) and its oxidation products.
