Tetrazene
Applications
Used in chemical research for studying nitrogen chains and decomposition; in theoretical models for explosives chemistry; in academic studies for azo compounds; in computational chemistry for stability analysis; limited commercial use due to instability.
Safety & Risks
Highly unstable and explosive material; sensitive to heat, shock, or friction causing decomposition. Toxic fumes may be released; irritant to eyes and skin. Avoid handling; use extreme caution, PPE; restricted for transport and storage.
Packaging
Handled in small quantities in sealed glass vials for lab use; store in cool, dry, shock-proof areas per safety protocols.
