Tetrazene is a chemical compound with the molecular formula H2NN=NNH2. It is a colorless explosive material. An analogue is the organosilicon derivative (tms)2NN=NN(tms)2 where tms is trimethylsilyl.[1] Isomeric with tetrazine is ammonium azide.
Tetrazene explosive, commonly known simply as tetrazene, is used for sensitization of priming compositions.
