Methylated Ammonium and Hydrazinium Salts of 5,5′-Azotetrazolate

Salts of the 5,5′-azotetrazolate dianion with methylated ammonium and hydrazinium cations were prepared. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, vibrational (IR, Raman) and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy ( 1 H, 13 C, 14 N). The crystal structures of the di[ammonium], the bis[dimethylammonium] and the bis[trimethylhydrazinium] 5,5′-azo­ tetrazolate salts were determined. The thermal, shock and friction sensitivities of these com­ pounds were investigated and their explosion products were analysed.
