Combining the most suitable energetic tetrazole and triazole moieties: synthesis and characterization of 5-(1-hydroxy-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-1-hydroxy-tetrazole and its nitrogen-rich ionic derivatives

The combination of 1-hydroxy-tetrazole and 1-hydroxy-1,2,4-triazole produces a new bisheterocyclic moiety, which is characterized and derivatized extensively. We tried to combine the positive advantages of the TKX-50 and MAD-X1 backbone with this new building block.
