Abstract: A nitrogen-rich coordination compound [Zn(ATZ)2(N3)2]3(H2O)2 (1, ATZ = 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole) was prepared and fully characterized. The crystal structure is triclinic, space group P21/n. Thermal decomposition mechanisms of the compound were predicted based on DSC, TG-DTG and FTIR analyses. The kinetic parameters of the first exothermic process of 1 were studied both by the Kissinger’s method and Ozawa-Doyle’s method. The critical temperature of thermal explosion, entropies of activation (ΔS≠), enthalpies of activation (ΔH≠), and free energies of activation (ΔG≠) were calculated.
