Infobox references

1-Diazidocarbamoyl-5-azidotetrazole (nicknamed azidoazide azide by chemistry blogger and medicinal chemist Derek Lowe[2]) is a heterocyclic inorganic compound with the formula C2N14.[3] It is an isomer of isocyanogentetraazide, and an extremely dangerous and sensitive explosive.

Synthesis

1-Diazidocarbamoyl-5-azidotetrazole was produced by diazotating triaminoguanidinium chloride with sodium nitrite in water.[3]

Hazards

Nearly any stimulus will cause 1-diazidocarbamoyl-5-azidotetrazole to detonate.[4] When an attempt was made to chart its infrared spectrum using Raman spectroscopy, it exploded.[2]
