Brominated flame-retardant tetrazines

Abstract

A flame-retardant compound, a process for forming a flame-retardant compound, and an article of manufacture. The flame-retardant compound includes a tetrazine moiety and at least one ligand comprising a brominated moiety. The process includes providing starting materials, which include a nitrile compound, a bromine source, and hydrazine. The process also includes reacting the starting materials to form a tetrazine flame retardant. The article of manufacture includes a polymer and a flame-retardant compound having a tetrazine moiety and at least one ligand comprising a brominated moiety.
