Abstract:
A series of high-performing C-C bonded nitropyrazole and thiadiazole-based energetic materials (compounds 3-7) were synthesized and thoroughly characterized. SC-XRD studies supported the structure of compounds 3, 4, 6, and 7. The synthesized compounds exhibited high densities (≥1.77 g cm-3), compounds 3 and 5 demonstrating admirable detonation properties (VOD = 8300 and 7265 m s-1; DP = 30.31 and 21.25 GPa, respectively), surpassing the present benchmark explosives HNS and TNT and setting new standards for sulfur-based energetic materials. Notably, compound 3 showed an ignition delay of 13 ms in a hot needle test, indicating its potential as an igniter.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by...
