Tetrazene

The tetrazenes are an inorganic group of materials. These are monounsaturated compounds with a chain of four nitrogen atoms bound to each other. They are thermally labile.

2- tetracene

The 2- tetrazene H2N -N = N- NH2 was prepared in 1975 by Nils Wiberg and elucidated by photoelectron spectroscopy as trans-2- tetracene.

2- tetrazene is a colorless solid which is sparingly soluble in methylene chloride at -78 ° C. It decomposes at about 0 ° C to 75% in nitrogen, hydrazine and isomerized to 25% ammonium azide.

1- tetracene

A derivative of the 1- tetrazene HN = N -NH- NH 2 is, for example, the initiating explosive, tetrazene.

Tetrazoles

Cyclic, two polyunsaturated derivatives of tetrazenes are the tetrazoles.

Likelihood of confusion

Can tetrazene by name easily with tetracene ( naphthacene ) or the group of Tetrazines be confused.
