Nitrogen-rich heterocycles, particularly tetrazole-based high-energy density materials (HEDMs) offer high performance, low sensitivity, and are eco-friendly. Despite the diversity of nitrogen-rich energetic heterocycles, many are sensitive to external stimuli, and the introduction of a methylene, ethylene, or C-C linkage between nitrogen-rich heterocycles is a successful strategy to improve mechanical sensitivity and thermal stability. Understanding the potential anomalous thermal or kinetic behavior of such molecules is crucial for the design of new HEDMs and practical applications of these molecules. We have investigated the influence of introducing an alkylidene bridge between the energetic nitrogen heterocycles on the decomposition mechanism and pathway of different bridged tetrazoles, namely 5,5'-Bis-1H-tetrazole, 1,2-Bis(5-tetrazolo)methane, and 1,2-Bis(5-tetrazolo)ethane, using thermal experiments, mass spectrometry, and computational analysis. Kinetic parameters were evaluated using a non-linear integral method, and decomposition pathways were proposed based on mass fragmentation data. Stability comparisons were made using HOMO-LUMO gap and electrostatic potential (ESP) values from computational calculations.
