Abstract:
For the first time, the highly sensitive 1-(nitratomethyl)-5H-tetrazole (1-NAMT) was synthesized, representing the shortest possible 1-(nitratoalkyl)-5H-tetrazole with a combined nitrogen and oxygen content of 81.4%. Compared to its related ethyl derivative, 1-(nitratoethyl)-5H-tetrazole, it exhibits improved oxygen balance, resulting in higher detonation parameters. 1-NAMT was thoroughly analyzed by single-crystal diffraction experiments accompanied by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and multinuclear (1H, 13C, and 14N) NMR measurements. The thermal behavior of 1-NAMT was analyzed by differential thermal analysis supported by thermogravimetric analysis. Furthermore, energetic coordination compounds (ECCs) of Cu with different inorganic (e.g., nitrate, chlorate, and perchlorate) and nitroaromatic anions (e.g., picrate and styphnate) were synthesized and thoroughly analyzed. It is shown that the formation of ECCs with nitroaromatic anions (Tdec ∼ 180 °C) is a suitable strategy to improve the rather low thermal stability of 1-NAMT (125 °C).

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

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...
