Description:
The synthesis and characterization of selected nitrogen-rich salts based on 5-(1,2,4-triazol- C -yl)tetrazoles and their 1-hydroxy-tetrazole analogues is presented. The combination with guanidinium, triaminoguanidinium, and hydroxylammonium cations leads to enhanced performance and sensitivities. The main focus of this work is on the energetic properties of those ionic derivatives in comparison to the neutral compounds. Additionally, the positive influence of the introduction of N -oxides in energetic materials is shown. Structural characterization was accomplished by means of Raman, IR, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The standard enthalpies of formation were calculated for selected compounds at the CBS-4M level of theory, the detonation parameters were calculated using the EXPLO5.05 program. Additionally, thermal stability was measured via DSC and sensitivities against impact, friction, and electrostatic discharge were determined.
