An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Azidotetrazolate (CN7−) is an anion which forms a highly explosive series of salts. The ion is made by removing a proton from . The molecular structure contains a five-membered ring with four nitrogen atoms, and an azido side chain connected to the carbon atom. Several salts exist, but they are unstable and spontaneously explode. Rubidium azidotetrazolate was so unstable that it explodes while crystallizing. The potassium and caesium salt also spontaneously explode when dry.

  • Azidotetrazolate (CN7−) is an anion which forms a highly explosive series of salts. The ion is made by removing a proton from . The molecular structure contains a five-membered ring with four nitrogen atoms, and an azido side chain connected to the carbon atom. Several salts exist, but they are unstable and spontaneously explode. Rubidium azidotetrazolate was so unstable that it explodes while crystallizing. The potassium and caesium salt also spontaneously explode when dry. Azidotetrazolates are under investigation for use as bullet propellant, rocket propellants and high explosives. The nitrogen base compounds have the advantage of being "green explosives", meaning that their waste products are safe. Amongst the , they have the highest nitrogen fraction. (en)
