Abstract
[Display omitted]
•Synthesis of thirteen novel 1,2,4-triazolium ylids.•Characterization by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry and 1H, 13C and 15N NMR.•X-ray crystallographic structures of two examples.•Determination of heats of decomposition of six examples.•Calculation of detonation parameters (PD, VD, and ISP) of eight examples.
Synthesis, characterization and energetic properties of novel, nitrogen-rich 1-methyl-1,2,4-triazolium N-aryl/N-pyridinyl ylids 3a–m are reported.
