RESUMO
Energetic salts of a triazolyl-tetrazinyl-aminotriazine ring system are characterized as energetic materials. Previously known sodium, ammonium, hydrazinium, barium, and triaminoguanidinium salts as well as the parent free acid were synthesized according to literature procedures and fully characterized for the first time as energetic materials. The silver salt was also synthesized and characterized for the first time as an energetic material. Generally, these materials form hydrates that are insensitive to mechanical stimuli; however, in cases in which anhydrous materials can be obtained, high sensitivities are possible.
RESUMO
Calcium cyanamide is an important fertilizer and a chemical precursor. However, its large scale synthesis is extremely energy intensive via the historical Frank-Caro synthesis of fixing atmospheric nitrogen with calcium carbide at an elevated temperature, and the product material contains a large number of impurities. In this work, we prepare calcium cyanamide in a purity higher than that achievable by the Frank-Caro route in a convenient laboratory method.
RESUMO
3-Methyl-1,2,3-triazolium-1N-dinitromethylylide, an exemplary zwitterionic energetic molecule, is the first fully-studied energetic material making use of the zwitterionic dinitromethyl functional group. This compound has impact and friction sensitivities of 8 J and 144-160 N respectively with a detonation velocity of 8162 m s-1.
RESUMO
The azo-coupling of 1- and 2-amino-4-nitro-1,2,3-triazole yielded two new energetic compounds whose detonation properties compete with that of HMX. Though the calculated performances are impressive, the regioisomers have differing sensitivities and detonation behavior. One has sensitivities similar to a very sensitive primary explosive, while the other has sensitivities more comparable to a sensitive secondary explosive. This serves as an example of the ability to tailor the sensitivities and end use of energetic compounds via regioisomerization.
RESUMO
Energetic N-amino-C-nitro compounds 1-amino-4-nitro-1,2,3-triazole and 2-amino-4-nitro-1,2,3-triazole are characterized for the first time as energetic materials. These compounds were characterized chemically by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Compounds were also characterized energetically by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), impact, and friction and found to possess sensitivities and performances classifying them as primary explosives with PETN-like performance.
