Abstract:

Aminotetrazole is an organic substance with the highest nitrogen content，which exhibits high positive formation enthalpy and good thermal stability. It has potential applications in the field of solid propellants，gas generations，high energy insensitivity explosives and non-smoke pyrotechnics. In this paper，the synthesis and properties of 5-aminotetrazolates and 1,5-diaminotetrazolates are reviewed. The development tendency for energetic compounds of aminotetrazole is also prospected.
