1,1'-Azobis-1,2,3-triazole is a moderately explosive but comparatively stable chemical compound [ citation needed ] which contains a long continuous chain of nitrogen atoms, with an unbroken chain of eight nitrogen atoms cyclised into two 1,2,3-triazole rings. It is stable up to 194 °C. The compound exhibits cis–trans isomerism at the central azo group: the trans isomer is more stable and is yellow, while the cis isomer is less stable and is blue. The two rings are aromatic and form a conjugated system with the azo linkage. This chromophore allows the trans compound to be isomerised to the cis when treated with an appropriate wavelength of ultraviolet light. [1]

In 2011, 1,1'-azobis(1,2,3,4-tetrazole) with formula C2H2N10 was prepared by Klapötke and Piercey which has a 10-nitrogen chain. [2] The record was later taken by a 11-nitrogen chain compound synthesized by a group of Chinese researchers. [3] [ which? ] A branched chain of 11-nitrogen system has also been reported as part of an unstable but highly nitrogen rich azidotetrazole derivative with formula C2N14. [4]
