ABSTRACT
The pressure-induced phase transition and polymerization of nitrogen-rich molecules are widely focused on due to their extreme importance for the development of green high-energy-density materials. Here, we present a study of the phase-transition behaviour and chemical reaction of 1H-tetrazole up to 100 GPa using in situ Raman, IR, X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction techniques and theoretical calculations. A phase transition above 2.6 GPa was identified and the high-pressure structure was determined with one molecule in a unit cell instead of two molecules as reported before. The 1H-tetrazole polymerized reversibly below 100 GPa, probably through carbon-nitrogen bonding instead of nitrogen-nitrogen bonding. Our studies update the structure model of the high-pressure phase of 1H-tetrazole, and present the possible intermolecular bonding route for the first time, which gives new insights to understand the phase transition and chemical reaction of nitrogen-rich compounds, and is of benefit for designing new high-energy-density materials.
