Abstract:
Nitrogen-rich energetic materials have been the focus of a few studies on their isomers. Novel nitrogen-rich energetic compounds TZ, DTZ, and NTZ were synthesized through simple steps. The hydrogen bond networks significantly enhanced their properties (TZ, Td = 290 °C and Dv = 8370 m s-1; DTZ, Td = 282 °C and Dv = 8392 m s-1; and NTZ, Td = 272 °C and Dv = 8762 m s-1), which are superior to their isomers. This realized a balance between the energy and stability of polycyclic tetrazoles, providing insights for high-performance energetic materials.

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...

Conformations of Ethane and Propane
Staggered conformation is a low energy and more stable conformation with the C-H bonds on the front carbon placed at 60°dihedral angles relative to the C-H bonds on the back carbon, leading to a reduced torsional strain. In staggered...
