- 5-(Fluorodinitromethyl)-2H-tetrazole and its tetrazolates - Preparation and Characterization of New High Energy Compounds
-
5-(Fluorodinitromethyl)-2H-tetrazole (HFDNTz) has been prepared by the cycloaddition reaction of HN3 with F(NO2)2CCN, which in turn was prepared by aqueous fluorination of sodium dinitrocyanomethanide. HFDNTz was converted into the ammonium, silver and tetraphenylphosphonium 5-(fluorodinitromethyl)tetrazolates. While the reaction of trinitroacetonitrile with HBr, followed by the treatment with NaOH, resulted in the formation of sodium dinitrocyanomethanide, the reaction of trinitroacetonitrile with aqueous ammonia produced ammonium dinitrocyanomethanide. Hydrazinium dinitromethanide was obtained from trinitroacetonitrile and hydrazine hydrate. All compounds were fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy and X-ray crystal structure determinations. Initial safety testing (impact and friction sensitivity) and thermal stability measurements (DTA) were also carried out.

- Nitrogen-rich metal-free salts: a new look at the 5-(trinitromethyl)tetrazolate anion as an energetic moiety
-
A series of energetic nitrogen-rich salts comprised of a 5-(trinitromethyl)tetrazolate anion and high-nitrogen cations was synthesized by simple and efficient chemical routes from readily available commercial reagents. These energetic materials were fully characterized by IR and multinuclear NMR (1H,13C,14N) spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Additionally, the structure of an energetic salt containing the 3,6,7-triamino-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazolium cation was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The synthesized compounds exhibit decent experimental densities (1.648-1.845 g cm?3) and positive enthalpies of formation (up to 725.5 kJ mol?1) and, as a result, superior detonation performance (detonation velocities 8.2-9.2 km s?1and detonation pressures 28.5-37.8 GPa), which is comparable to or even exceeding those of commonly used booster explosive PETN. On the other hand, high mechanical sensitivity of several novel 5-(trinitromethyl)tetrazolate salts along with their high combined nitrogen-oxygen content (>81%) and excellent detonation performance render them environmentally friendly alternatives to lead-based primary explosives.

- Energetic high-nitrogen compounds: 5-(trinitromethyl)-2 H -tetrazole and -tetrazolates, preparation, characterization, and conversion into 5-(dinitromethyl)tetrazoles
-
A convenient access to 5-(trinitromethyl)-2H-tetrazole (HTNTz) has been developed, based on the exhaustive nitration of 1H-tetrazole-5-acetic acid, which was prepared from ethyl cyanoacetate and HN3 in a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, followed by basic hydrolysis. HTNTz was converted into the ammonium, guanidinium, rubidium, cesium, copper, and silver 5-(trinitromethyl)-2H-tetrazolates. In addition, the ammonia adducts of the copper and silver salts were isolated. The reaction of HTNTz with hydrazine and hydroxylamine resulted in the formation of hydrazinium 5-(dinitromethyl) tetrazolate and hydroxylammonium 5-(dinitromethyl)-1H-tetrazolate, respectively. Acid treatment of both 5-(dinitromethyl)tetrazolates resulted in the isolation of 5-(dinitromethylene)-4,5-dihydro-1H-tetrazole, which was converted into potassium 5-(dinitromethyl)-1H-tetrazolate by reaction with K2CO 3. All prepared compounds were fully characterized by 1H, 13C, 14N, and 15N NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystal structure determination. Initial safety testing (impact, friction, and electrostatic sensitivity) and thermal stability measurements (differential thermal analysis, DTA) were also carried out. The 5-(trinitromethyl) and 5-(dinitromethyl)tetrazoles are highly energetic materials that explode upon impact or heating.
