The energetic ionic salt bis(1‐aminoguanidin‐2‐ium) 5,5′‐[1,2,4,5‐tetrazine‐3,6‐diylbis(azanediyl)]bis(1 H ‐1,2,3,4‐tetrazol‐1‐ide) dihydrate, 2CH 7 N 4 + ·C 4 H 2 N 14 2− ·2H 2 O, (I), with a high nitrogen content, has been synthesized and examined by elemental analysis, Fourier transform IR spectrometry, 1 H NMR spectroscopy and single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography. Compound (I) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2 1 / c with two water molecules. However, the water molecules are disordered about an inversion centre and were modelled as half‐occupancy molecules in the structure. The crystal structure reveals a three‐dimensional network of molecules linked through N—H…N, N—H…O, O—H…N and O—H…O hydrogen bonds. Thermal decomposition was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The exothermic peak temperature is 509.72 K, which indicates that hydrated salt (I) exhibits good thermal stability. Non‐isothermal reaction kinetic parameters were calculated via both the Kissinger and the Ozawa methods to yield activation energies of E k = 239.07 kJ mol −1 , lg A k = 22.79 s −1 and E O = 235.38 kJ mol −1 for (I). Additionally, the thermal safety was evaluated by calculating critical temperatures and thermodynamic values, viz. T SADT , T TIT , T b , Δ S ≠ , Δ H ≠ and Δ G ≠ . The results reveal that (I) exhibits good thermal safety compared to other ion salts of 3,6‐bis[(1 H ‐1,2,3,4‐tetrazol‐5‐yl)amino]‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazine (BTATz).
