A series of cobalt(III) tetrazolate tetrammine complexes were prepared by r
eaction of cobalt(Ill) diaquatetraammine perchlorate with 5-(3-nitrophenyl)
tetrazole. The factors affecting this reaction were studied. The reaction w
as thermally activated both by common heating with an external heater and m
icrowave heating. Thermolysis of the tetrazolate complexes was studied.
