Constructing Energetic Tetrazoles via a Flexible Methylene Bridge
In this study, we present a "flexible methylene bridge" strategy for designing tetrazole-based energetic materials. This approach enables structural modulation through two pathways: (1) solvent-induced bridge distortion to access different molecular configurations (compounds <b>3</b>-α and <b>3</b>-β) and (2) base-induced bridge cleavage to promote the formation of ionic salts (compounds <b>4</b> and <b>5</b>). Our work not only provides a versatile method for conformational control but also highlights the practical promise of tetrazole-based high-energy compounds.
