Full-nitro-nitroamino cooperative action: Climbing the energy peak of benzenes with enhanced chemical stability

Science Advances, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 8(12)

Published: March 23, 2022

More nitro groups accord benzenes with higher energy but lower chemical stability. Hexanitrobenzene (HNB) a fully nitrated structure has stood as the peak of organic explosives since 1966, it is very unstable and even decomposes in moist air. To increase limit strike balance between stability, we propose an interval full-nitro-nitroamino cooperative strategy to present new benzene, 1,3,5-trinitro-2,4,6-trinitroaminobenzene (TNTNB), which was synthesized using acylation-activation-nitration method. TNTNB exhibits high density (d: 1.995 g cm-3 at 173 K, 1.964 298 K) excellent heat detonation (Q: 7179 kJ kg-1), significantly exceed those HNB 6993 kg-1) state-of-the-art explosive CL-20 6534 kg-1); thus, represents for explosives. Compared HNB, also enhanced stability water, acids, bases.

Coupling complementary strategy to flexible graph neural network for quick discovery of coformer in diverse co-crystal materials

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 12(1)

Published: Oct. 12, 2021

Abstract Cocrystal engineering have been widely applied in pharmaceutical, chemistry and material fields. However, how to effectively choose coformer has a challenging task on experiments. Here we develop graph neural network (GNN) based deep learning framework quickly predict formation of the cocrystal. In order capture main driving force crystallization from 6819 positive 1052 negative samples reported by experiments, feasible GNN is explored integrate important prior knowledge into end-to-end molecular graph. The model strongly validated against seven competitive models three independent test sets involving pharmaceutical cocrystals, π–π cocrystals energetic exhibiting superior performance with accuracy higher than 96%, confirming its robustness generalization. Furthermore, one new cocrystal predicted successfully synthesized, showcasing high potential practice. All data source codes are available at https://github.com/Saoge123/ccgnet for aiding community.

Redefining the Term of “Cocrystal” and Broadening Its Intention

Crystal Growth & Design, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 19(3), P. 1471 - 1478

Published: Jan. 23, 2019

"Cocrystal" is currently an increasingly popular term in the crystal community, as it has already been verified that cocrystallization to form new crystals can serve a promising strategy and efficient technology modulate improve properties performances of materials fields pharmaceuticals others. Nevertheless, definition intetsion cocrystal still remain debatable. In this Perspective, we redefine with broadened intention "a single-phase crystalline solid composed two or multiple components stoichiometric ratio, be atoms, molecules, anions cations pairs, and/or metallic free electrons shared". Thereby, cocrystals are classified into five types terms kinds their interactions entity, including atomic cocrystal, molecular ionic mixed-type cocrystal. The reasserted present uniform for all solids help avoid confusion numerous existing these solids. some narrow intentions expected updated applied less time goes on.

To expedite new molecular compound development, a long-sought goal within the chemistry community has been to predict molecules' bulk properties of interest priori synthesis from chemical structure alone. In this work, we demonstrate that machine learning methods can indeed be used directly learn relationship between structures and crystalline molecules, even in absence any crystal information or quantum mechanical calculations. We focus specifically on class organic compounds categorized as energetic materials called high explosives (HE) predicting their density. An ongoing challenge is deciding how best featurize molecules inputs into models—whether expert handcrafted features learned representations via graph-based neural network models—yield better results why. evaluate both types combination with number models densities HE-like curated Cambridge Structural Database, report performance pros cons our methods. Our message passing (MPNN) based generally perform best, outperforming current state-of-the-art at density performing well when testing data set not representative training data. However, these are traditionally considered black boxes less easily interpretable. address common challenge, also provide comparison analysis MPNN-based model fixed feature provides insights what by MPNN accurately
