The synthesis, characterization, and energetic properties of diazido heteroaromatic high-nitrogenC-N compound, 3,6-diazido-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (DiAT), are reported. Its normalized heat of formation (N
Hf),experimentally determined using an additi
ve method, is shown to be the highest positi
ve N
Hf comparedto all other organic molecules. The unexpected azido-tetrazolo tautomerizations and irre
versible tetrazolotransformation of DiAT are remarkable compared to all other polyazido heteroaromatic high-nitrogen C-Ncompounds, for example, 2,4,6-
triazido-1,3,5-
triazine; 4,4',6,6'-tetra(azido)hydrazo-1,3,5-
triazine; 4,4',6,6'-tetra(azido)azo-1,3,5-
triazine; and 2,5,8-
tri(azido)-1,3,4,6,7,9,9b-heptaazaphenalene (heptazine).
