Properties

Tetrazene has eleven

standard heat of formation at 301.3 kJ/mol. The eleven isomers can be arranged into three groups: straight-chain tetrazenes, four-membered cyclotetrazane, and three-membered cyclotriazanes. Each straight-chain tetrazene isomer possesses one N=N double bond and two N-N single bonds.[2] Tautomerizations do occur between the isomers. The ionic compound ammonium azide
is also a constitutional isomer of tetrazene.
