Table of Contents:4-R-5-nitro-1,2,3-triazolate salts (R = -CH3, -NH2, -NO2, -N3, and -NHNO2) were systematically synthesized with nitrogen-rich cations. Among the energetic salts, hydroxylaminium 4,5-dinitro-1,2,3-triazolate and dihydroxylaminium 4-nitramino-5-nitro-1,2,3-triazolate exhibit excellent energetic performances (38.0 GPa, 9302 m/s, 256.1 s; 38.8 GPa, 9464 m/s, 251.1 s).A series of 4-R-5-nitro-1,2,3-triazolate salts (R = -CH 3 , -NH 2 , -NO 2 , -N 3 , and -NHNO 2 )were synthesized with cations of ammonium, hydroxylammonium, hydrazinium, guanidinium, aminoguanidinium, diaminoguanidinium, and triaminoguanidinium, respectively. The resulting energetic salts were characterized with 1 H and 13 C NMR, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and some with single crystal X-Ray diffraction. Their key properties were measured or calculated such as melting and decomposition temperatures, density, detonation pressure and velocity, and impact and friction sensitivities. The results show that guanidinium salts possess the highest thermal stability in each group with decomposition temperatures as 265, 251, 221, 142, and 216 o C, respectively. Hydroxylammonium 4,5-dinitro-1,2,3-triazolate and dihydroxylammonium 4-nitramino-5-nitro-1,2,3-triazolate exhibit much higher detonation performances (38.0 GPa, 9302 m/s; 38.8 GPa, 9464 m/s) than cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (34.9 GPa, 8748 m/s). Moreover, the high specific impulses (256.1 and 251.1 s) from the formula calculations based on the two salts further support their application prospects.
