The alkylation of 2-nitro-2-azapropyl chloride (2) and deprotonated 5-amino-1H-tetrazole (3), 1H-tetrazole (4), 5-nitriminol,4H-tetrazole (5), 1-methyl-5-nitrimino-4H-tetrazole (6) and 2methyl-5-nitraminotetrazole (7) afforded the products 1.-(2-nitro-2-azapropyl)-5-aminotetrazole (8), 1-(2-nitro-2-azapropyl)-5H-tetrazole (9), 1-(2-nitro-2-azapropyl)-5- nitriminotetrazole.H2O (10a), 1-(2-nitro-2azapropyl)-S- nitriminotetrazole-EtOH (10b) 1,5-bis(2-nitro-2-azapropyl)-5-nitraminotetrazole (11), 1.-methyl-5-(2-nitro-2-azapropyl)-5-nitraminotetrazole (12), 1-methyl-4-(2-nitro-2-azapropyl)-5-nitraminotetrazole (13), 1-methyl-5-(2-nitro- 2-azapropyl)-5-aminotetrazole (14) and 2-methyl-5-(2-nitro-2-azapropyl)-5- nitraminotetrazole (15). In addition, the reaction of potassium 1-methyl-5-nitriminotetrazolate with dimethyl sulfate was investigated yielding 1,4-dimethyl-5-nitriminotetrazole (16). All products (8-16) were determined by low tempera ture single X-ray diffraction. A comprehensive characterization and description of the chemical properties (IR, Raman, and multinuclear ( 1H, 13C and 15N) NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and differential scanning calorimetry) is given. The heats of formation were calculated by heats of combustion measured using bomb calorimetry. With these values and the X-ray densities, several, detonation parameters (e.g. detonation pressure, detonation, velocity, heat of explosion) were computed by the EXPLO5 software. In addition, the sensitivities towards impact, friction and electrical discharge were determined.
