In this contribution we report on the synthesis and full structural as well as spectroscopic characterization of 3,3′-dinitro-5,5′-bis-1,2,4-triazole-1,1′-diol and nitrogen-rich salts thereof. The fir
2-Methyl-5-nitraminotetrazole (1) was formed by nitration of 2-methyl-5-aminotetrazole. 2-Methyl-5-aminotetrazole was obtained by an improved synthesis starting from sodium 5-aminotetrazolate, which i
