| Abstract: | The novel high nitrogen‐containing energetic complex [Cd(DAT)6](NO3)2 was synthesized by reaction of Cd(NO3)2·6H2O with 1,5‐diamino‐tetrazole (DAT). It was characterized by elemental analysis, FT‐IR spectroscopy and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The central Cd2+ ion is coordinated by six nitrogen atoms from six DAT ligand molecules to form a hexacoordinate distorted octahedral compound. The [Cd(DAT)6](NO3)2 molecules are linked together through two types of hydrogen bonds thus forming a stable three‐dimensional net structure. The thermal decomposition mechanism of [Cd(DAT)6](NO3)2 was investigated by DSC and TG/DTG analyses and FT‐IR spectroscopy. The kinetic parameters of the exothermic process were studied by using Kissinger’s and Ozawa–Doyle’s methods. |
