The heats of combustion of substituted triazoles, tetrazoles and related high nitrogen compounds

Abstract

The heats of combustion of some 36 substituted triazoles, tetrazoles and related high nitrogen compounds have been determined. The number of moles of nitric acid formed during the combustion process was found to be a function of the square root of the product of the heat of combustion and the number of nitrogen atoms present. Several new tetrazole compounds including the cis and trans isomers of 1,1′-dimethyl- and 1,1′-diethyl-5,5′-azotetrazole, are described.
