Advances in the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole based energetic compounds: A review

1,2,3-Triazole-based energetic compounds have attracted widespread attention in the field of energetic materials due to their high heats of formation, high density, good stability, and environmental friendliness. In this review, 1,2,3-triazole-based energetic compounds are divided into three categories: 1,2,3-triazole-based monocyclic, fused ring, and linked ring (subdivided into –C–C–, –N–N–, –C–N–, –N=N–, and –NH–N=N– linkers) energetic compounds, and their synthesis routes and physicochemical properties are described. In summary, 1,2,3-triazole-based energetic compounds are a class of excellent energetic compounds with great potential as high-energy and low-sensitivity explosives. This review provides reference and guidance for the development of 1,2,3-triazole-based energetic compounds.
