Optimization of reaction condition to synthesize 2a Besides acetic anhydride, the deoxidizing agent with lower electron densities (Table S1, entry 1 and 2) has a negative effect on the yield. In addition, more active de-oxygen agents, such as triethyl phosphite and oxalyl chloride (entry 3 and 4), produce no product might due to excessive reduction of nitro triazene intermediate.

Investigations of mechanism When 1d and 1e were mixed of 1:1 ratio as starting material, cross-reacted product 2de and 2ed were not observed in mass spectrum (Scheme S1), which indicated that the product was formed via intramolecular rearrangement rather than cleavage followed by combination.

Caution! Due to the fact that 5,5'-azoxybistetrazoles are to some extent rather unstable toward external stimuli, proper safety precautions should be taken when handling the dry materials. Lab personnel and the equipment should be properly grounded and protective equipment such as leather coat, Kevlar gloves, ear protection and face shield are recommended. General Methods: 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded on a 400 MHz (Buruker Avance 400) nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers operating at 400 and 100 MHz, respectively, by using DMSO-D 6 as solvent and locking solvent. 15 N NMR spectra were recorded on a 700 MHz (Buruker Avance 700) nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers operating at 70 MHz by using DMSO-D 6 as solvent and locking solvent. IR spectra were recorded using KBr pellets for solids on a Bruker ALPHA FT-IR-Spektrometer. The melting and decomposition points were obtained on a differential scanning calorimeter (METTLER TOLEDO) at a scan rate of 5 ºC min 1. Elemental analyses were carried out using an Elementar Vario EL element alanalyzer. High resolution mass spectrometry was recorded on Bruker Apex IV FTMS. X-ray diffraction: For compound 2a, data were collected on a Rigaku Saturn 724 CCD diffractometer employing graphite-monochromated MoKa radiation (λ=0.71073 Å) using omega scans. Data collection and reduction were performed and the unit cell was initially refined using Crystal Clear SM Expert 2.0 r2. 1 The reflection data were corrected for Lorentz-polarization factors. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by the least-squares method on F 2 using the SHELXTL-97 suite of programs. 2 All non-hydrogen atoms were refined an isotropically. The structure of 2a was solved in the space group P2 1/c by analysis of systematic absences. Compound 1a-1f were synthesized according as literature. 3 2,2'-dimethyl-5,5'-azoxybistetrazole (2a).

Computation details The heats of formation of 2a, 2c, 2f, 2g were carried out by using the Gaussian09 (Revision B.01) suite of programs based on isodesmic reactions (Scheme S2). 4 The elementary geometric optimization and the frequency analysis were performed at the level of B3LYP/6-311+G**. The total energy was performed at the level of MP2/6-311++G**. Scheme S2. Isodesmic reactions for the calculation of heats of formation. Table S7.
