Nitrogen-rich 4,4′-azo bis(1,2,4-triazolone) salts—the synthesis and promising properties of a new family of high-density insensitive materials

Abstract

4,4′-Azo-bis(1,2,4-triazolone) (ZTO) based salts from alkaline (Li⁺, K⁺, Na⁺, and Cs⁺), alkaline earth metal salts (Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, and Ba²⁺) and hydrazinium salt were synthesized in a simple, straightforward manner and were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis.
