Abstract An analogue‐oriented synthetic route for the formulation of furazan‐functionalized 5‐nitroimino‐1,2,4‐triazoles has been explored. The process was found to be straightforward, high yielding, and highly efficient, scalable.

Mechanochemistry refers to chemical reactions induced by mechanical forces. Due different reaction mechanisms, products obtained through mechanochemistry can be distinct from those produced thermochemistry and photochemistry. Scanning probe microscopy is a powerful tool for studying single-molecule mechanochemical processes. Mechanical force vector that has both magnitude direction. Previous studies have focused on triggering forces measuring their magnitude. In this work, we use the...
