Abstract:
Twelve energetic nitrogen-rich salts based on 3-azido-N-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine were prepared and fully characterized by (1)H, (13)C NMR, and IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and elemental analysis. The crystal structures of the neutral compound 3-azido-N-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-amine (1) and its triaminoguanidinium salt (13) were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The density of 1 and its twelve salts ranged from 1.57 to 1.79 g cm(-3), and the heat of formation was calculated with the Gaussian 03 suite of programs. Compounds 1-13 exhibit promising detonation performances (pressure: 25.3-39.3 GPa; velocity: 8159-9409 m s(-1); EXPLO 5.05). Impact sensitivities were also determined by hammer tests and resulted ranging from 2.5 J (very sensitive) to >40 J (insensitive).

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
