A Novel Energetic Nickel Coordination Compound Based on Carbohydrazide and Dinitramide

Dinitramide was reacted with carbohydrazide to furnish the corresponding mono- and bis-susbtituted salts. The nickel salt of dinitramide when reacted with carbohydrazide produced the coordination compound, tris(carbohydrazide- N,O)nickel(ii) bis-dinitramide, whose crystal structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction.
