Abstract:
Two new energetic coordination polymers (CPs) [Pb(BT)(H2O)3]n (1) and [Pb3(DOBT)3(H2O)2]n·(4H2O)n (2) with 1D and 3D structures were synthesized by employing two rational designed ligands, 1H,1'H-5,5'-bitetrazole (H2BT) and 1H,1'H-[5,5'-bitetrazole]-1,1'-diol ligands (DHBT), respectively. Thermal analyses and sensitivity tests show that the 3D architecture reinforces the network of 2 which has higher thermal stability and lower sensitivity than that of 1. Through oxygen-bomb combustion calorimetry the molar enthalpy of formation of 2 is derived to be much higher than that of 1 as well as the reported CPs. Herein, more importantly, the heats of detonation (ΔHdet) were calculated according to the decomposition products of TG-DSC-MS-FTIR simultaneous analyses for the first time. The calculated results show that ΔHdet of 2 is 23% higher than that of 1. This research demonstrates that 3D energetic CP with outstanding energetic properties can be obtained through efficient and reasonable design.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
