Abstract:
Full nitration is one of the most effective strategies used in synthesizing high-density energetic materials, but this strategy has reached its limit because the resultant compounds cannot be further functionalized. To overcome this limitation, we present the synergistic action of full nitration and strong intermolecular H-bonding in designing and synthesizing 1-trinitromethyl-3,5-dinitro-4-nitroaminopyrazole (DNTP) with a density that exceeds those of the reported monocyclic CHON compounds. The detonation velocity and specific impulse of DNTP exceed those of 1-trinitromethyl-3,4,5-trinitropyrazole (TTP), HMX, and ADN.

Chemical Bonds
Atoms participate in a chemical bond formation to acquire a completed valence-shell electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas nearest to it in atomic number. Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds are some of the important types of chemical bonds. Bond energy and bond length determine the strength of a chemical bond.
Types of Chemical Bonds
An ionic bond is formed due to electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Often, the ions are formed by the transfer of electrons...
