【 摘 要 】

A tetrazole is a 5-membered ring containing 4 nitrogens and 1 carbon.Due to its energetic potential and structural similarity to carboxylic acids, this ring system has a wide number of applications.In this thesis, a new and safe sustainable process to produce tetrazoles was designed that acheived high yields under mild conditions.Also, a technique was developed to form a trityl-protected tetrazole in situ.The rest of this work involved the exploitation of the energetic potential of tetrazoles.This moiety was successfully applied in polymers, ionic liquids, foams, and gels.The overall results from these experiments illustrate the fact that tetrazoles have the potential to serve as a stable alternative to the troublesome azido group common in many energetic materials.Due to these applications, the tetrazole moiety is a very important entity.
