Energetic active mass, useful as an explosive, comprises a dihydroxylammonium salt or diammonium salt of 5,5'-bistetrazol-1,1'-diol, 5,5'-bistetrazol-1,2'-diol, or 5,5'-bistetrazol-2,2'-diol or a mixture of at least two of these salts

摘要

Energetic active mass comprises a dihydroxylammonium salt or diammonium salt of 5,5'-bistetrazol-1,1'-diol, 5,5'-bistetrazol-1,2'-diol, or 5,5'-bistetrazol-2,2'-diol or a mixture of at least two of these salts. An independent claim is included for preparing the energetic active mass comprising (a) oxidizing 5,5'-bistetrazole to a mixture of bistetrazol-1,1'-diol, 5,5'-bistetrazol-1,2'-diol and 5,5'-bistetrazol-2,2'-diol or promoting the isomerization of diazidoglyoxime to bistetrazol-1,1'-diol, (b) incubating the reaction product obtained in step (a) with hydroxylamine or ammonia in aqueous solution and (c) separating the obtained precipitate.
