Synthesis and properties of potassium 5,5′-azobis(1-nitraminotetrazolate): A green primary explosive with superior initiation power

Potassium 5,5′-azobis(1-nitraminotetrazolate) was obtained via a safe and convenient synthetic procedure. Its high sensitivity, high nitrogen and oxygen content, high positive heat of formation and superior detonation properties showed it could serve as a green replacement for lead(II) azide.96
