Bisnitramide-Bridged N-Substituted Tetrazoles with Balanced Sensitivity and High Performance

In this study, a simple synthetic strategy for bridged bis(nitramide)-based N-substituted tetrazoles is described. All new compounds were isolated and fully characterized by sophisticated analytical techniques. The structures of the intermediate derivative and two final compounds were determined by single-crystal X-ray data. The structures of the intermediate derivative and two final compounds were determined by single crystal X-ray data. Thermostabilities and energetic properties of new bridged bisnitramide-based N-substituted tetrazoles were discussed and compared with known materials.

Laser ignition of energetic complexes: impact of metal ion on laser initiation ability

Alkali metal-containing energetic complexes were easy to initiate, followed by the free ligand, whereas the alkaline-earth metal complexes exhibited longer initiation delay times.

Modern trends in “Green” primary energetic materials

The evergrowing demand for cleaner, high-performing energetic materials (EMs) has led to a quest for replacement of currently used toxic metal-based traditional energetic compounds such as lead azide and lead styphnate.

Synthesis of energetic salts containing three heterocyclic anions by a one-pot condensation reaction

Energetic ionic salts 1 and 2 containing three heterocyclic anions were prepared in a one-pot reaction using 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxaldehyde, aminoguanidine salts, and organic energetic salts (5-nitrotetrazole and 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazole ammonium salt).
