Several metal and nitrogen‐rich salts of the recently presented 5‐(5‐azido‐1 H ‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐yl)tetrazole (AzTT), including silver ( 1 ), copper(I) ( 2 ), potassium ( 3 ), cesium ( 4 ), copper(II) ( 7 ), ammonium ( 8 ), and guanidinium ( 9 ), as well as the respective double‐salts of 3 , 4 , 8 and 9 , were prepared and well characterized by IR and multinuclear ( 1 H, 13 C, 14 N) NMR spectroscopy, DSC, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and one ( 4 ) additionally by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The sensitivities towards impact, friction and electrostatic discharge were determined according to BAM standards, revealing most of the metal salts as highly sensitive and the nitrogen‐rich salts as insensitive. The metal salts were further tested for their ability of being primary explosives.
