Abstract:
In this work, two energetic compounds 5-(3-iminio-6-nitro-3H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazol-2(7H)-yl)tetrazol-1-ide (TT) and 3-nitro-7-(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazol-6-amine (FT) were successfully synthesized from the same compound 3,6,7-triamino-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazolium (TATOT). Both compounds contain three explosophores, amino, nitro, and tetrazole, on the fused ring. Through different functional group arrangements, TT possesses higher density and good thermal stability. FT exhibits a low sensitivity to mechanical stimulation. Both compounds show promising energetic performance properties.

Selection Rules: Thermal Activation
Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.
Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...
