Abstract:
In a continuing effort to evaluate the properties of new possible high energy density materials, we have calculated the optimized geometries and thermodynamic properties of a series of nitro derivatives of triazetidine, c-CH2(NH)3. After evaluating approximately 50 different levels of NO2 substitution and conformations, we predict that several nitrotriazetidine compounds show some significantly desirable HEDM properties. Graphical abstract The triazetidine molecule, the parent structure for a series of new hypothetical high energy densitymaterials with various NO2 content.

Cell Potential and Free Energy
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics dealing with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. In an electrochemical cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Thus, a link can be predicted between cell potential, free energy change, and the equilibrium constant for the reaction. Cell potential can also be measured as the oxidant or the reducing strength, and similar acid-base strength measures are reflected in equilibrium...
