Perchlorate Complexes of 1,5-Diaminotetrazole

5-Diammotetrazole forms complex compounds with metals. The ferrous (DFeP) and cupric complexes as perchlorate salts have been reported as the most promising candidates for green primary explosives [48-50], The probable chemical formulas of both compounds are shown below. 

Very little is published about the physical and chemical properties of these 1,5-diaminotetrazole complexes. Crystals of the 1,5-diaminotetrazole ferrous perchlorate complex are shown in Fig. 9.6. 

Sensitivity values of cupric and ferrous perchlorate complexes of 1,5-diaminotetrazole are compared to LS in Table 9.6 and the performance data measured by plate dent test and compared to LA are summarized in Table 9.7. 

The effect of the density of the primary explosive on the efficiency of detrmators is shown in Table 9.8. Performance of both complexes decreases with increasing loading pressure and density contrary to LA. This phenomenrMi is greater for the cupric complex. Performance of the ferrous complex is significantly higher at all
