The azido‐tetrazolo tautomerizations of 3,6‐diazido‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine (DIAT) in different solvents were investigated with HPLC and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. 6‐Amino‐tetrazolo[1,5‐ b ]‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine (ATTZ) was irreversibly formed as the final product by azido‐cyclization following N 2 elimination from one of the azido substituents at room temperature in DMSO. The structure of ATTZ was characterized by X‐ray crystallography; differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), mass spectrometry, as well as IR and 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. The crystal density was found to be 1.272 g cm −3 . DSC result suggested that ATTZ with the melting point of 84 °C strongly decomposes with explosion at 198 °C, which can be regarded as a primary explosive.
