Alkaline Earth Metal Salts of 5,5′‐Bistetrazole – from Academical Interest to Practical Application

Abstract

The alkaline earth metal salts of 5,1693 vibrational (IR, Raman) and NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A detailed description of the crystal structures is given. In addition, the potential use of 4 and 5 in coloring pyrotechnical compositions was investigated.

Synthesis and Characterisation of 5, 5'‐Bistetrazolate Salts with Alkali Metal, Ammonium and Imidazolium Cations

“…Steel et al were the first to publish three transition metal complexes in 1995 and presented also the crystal structure of the free acid 6. The group of Klein prepared and characterised several rare earth metal salts,7 Klapötke et al presented a series of alkaline earth metal salts8 and the first structurally characterised transition metal salt 9. Combinations of 5, 5'‐bistetrazole with nitrogen‐rich cations such as ammonium, hydrazinium, guanidinium and related have been investigated most recently by Klapötke et al and also Shreeve et al10…”

Preparation and Crystal Structure of Diaqua(μ-5,5'-bistetrazolato-κ4N1,N2,N5,N6)copper(II)

“…of OPEN ACCESS 5,5'-bistetrazole as low-smoke pyrotechnics and reported the synthesis of 5,5'-H 2 BT from sodium azide, sodium cyanide and manganese dioxide in water [4,5]. In addition, our research group pointed out the potential use of the barium and strontium salt in coloring pyrotechnical compositions and determined the crystal structures of all alkaline earth metal salts except radium (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) [6]. However, the crystal structure of the diaqua(μ-5,5'-bistetrazolato-κ )copper(II) (2) was not determined until now.…”

Preparation, Crystal Structure, and Thermal Decomposition of the Four‐coordinated Zinc Compound Based on 1,5‐Diaminotetrazole

“…[1,2] Klapötke, Shreeve and other research groups have performed studies on high-nitrogen energetic salts and compounds, such as azides, [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] imidazoles, [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] triazoles, [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] tetrazoles, [7, and their derivatives. [62] Recently, energetic compounds, using 5-nitro-tetrazolate, [48,49,63] 5,5Ј-bistetrazole, [52] and 5,5-azotetrazolate [64] anions or 5-aminotetrazole, [65] 1,5-diaminotetrazole (DAT), [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]…”
