Disilver aminotetrazole perchlorate, also called 1,3-disilver-5-aminotetrazole perchlorate, is a primary high explosive compound. It is useful for detonating heat resistant explosives like DIPAM or DNS, as well as the usual lot of high explosives like TNT or RDX. The compound is quite stable to heating which makes it suitable for use with other high temperature explosives. Temperature resistant explosives find uses in hot oil wells, for making tap holes in steel furnaces, and in spacecraft where high speeds produce significant heat. Most of the usual primary explosives are quite unstable when heated. This explosive may be heated to as high as 260 C for as long as 50 hours. Anytime lead azide is called for this explosive can be used as a replacement as it has very similar explosive properties.

Prepare a solution of 16.6 g of silver perchlorate in 32 mL of water. Prepare a second solution of 5-amino-1H-tetrazole in 184 mL of 70% perchloric acid. Add the perchlorate solution to the acid solution while stirring, and continue stirring for an additional 30 minutes. Filter to collect the product by vacuum filtration and thoroughly wash with water followed by isopropyl alcohol. The product can be dried by heating to 150 C for 5 hours in an oven prior to use.
