This combined experimental, theoretical and comparative study details the syntheses and chemical characterisation of two new energetic polynitromethyl tetrazole derivatives, namely, 2‐(2‐nitro‐2‐azapropyl)‐5‐(trinitromethyl)‐2 H ‐tetrazole and its fluorine‐containing analogue 2‐(2‐nitro‐2‐azapropyl)‐5‐(fluorodinitromethyl)‐2 H ‐tetrazole. Their crystal structures and energetic behaviour are compared to those of their starting materials, the ammonium salts of the corresponding 5‐(polynitromethyl)‐2 H ‐tetrazoles. Additionally, the crystal structures of two further related polynitrotetrazoles are presented.
