Nitrogen-rich energetic 4-R-5-nitro-1,2,3-triazolate salts (R = –CH 3 , –NH 2 , –N 3 , –NO 2 and –NHNO 2 ) as high performance energetic materials

4-R-5-Nitro-1,2,3-triazolate salts (R = –CH 3 , –NH 2 , –NO 2 , –N 3 , and –NHNO 2 ) were systematically synthesized with nitrogen-rich cations. Among the energetic salts, dihydroxylaminium 4-nitramino-5-nitro-1,2,3-triazolate exhibits excellent energetic performance (38.8 GPa, 9464 m s −1 ).
