A one‐dimensional coordination polymer based on copper(II) nitrate and 1,2‐bis(5‐monomethylhydrazinyl‐1H‐tetrazolyl)ethane as ligand was prepared. The thermal and physical stability was determined by differential scanning calorimetry and BAM methods. The polymer was investigated by vibrational spectroscopy and single X‐ray diffraction. Moreover, the ligand itself and the 1,2‐bis(1H‐tetrazolyl)ethane were characterized as energetic material by bomb calorimetric measurements along with calculations using the EXPLO5 software. Both compounds have moderate energetic properties along with a high thermal and physical stability. These findings render these compounds into promising environment friendly gas generating agents.

Superelectrophiles: Formamides were designed that when treated with triflic anhydride would be transformed into superelectrophilic amidine dications. These dications were so electrophilic that they underwent in situ dealkylation by the triflate anion (see scheme; Tf = trifluoromethanesulfonyl). DFT calculations were used to determine the mechanistic details of the dealkylation reaction.

Superelektrophile: Formamide, die bei der Behandlung mit Trifluormethansulfonsäureanhydrid (Tf2O) superelektrophile Amidin‐Dikationen ergeben, wurden entworfen. Die Dikationen waren so elektrophil, dass sie in situ durch das Triflat‐Anion desalkyliert wurden (siehe Schema). Mithilfe von DFT‐Rechnungen wurden die mechanistischen Details der Desalkylierung ermittelt.
