Published: March 21, 2019

The coupling of two or more molecules dinitrogen (N2) occurs naturally under the radiative conditions present in ionosphere and may be achieved synthetically ultrahigh pressure plasma conditions. However, comparatively low N-N single-bond enthalpy generally renders catenation strongly triple-bonded N2 diatomic unfavorable decomposition nitrogen chains a common reaction motif. Here, we report surprising organoboron-mediated near-ambient to form complex which [N4]2- chain bridges boron centers. entails reductive hypovalent-boron-bound units single step.

Metal-free energetic materials generally have the advantages of high gas yield and metal-free residue after combustion or explosion, enabling them to be widely used as explosives propellant components. As part a series our investigations on ABX3 molecular perovskite high-energetic materials, here we report five new members, (H2A)[NH4(ClO4)3], by using different organic cations H2A2+, i.e., 1-hydroxy-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-diium for DAP-O4, piperazine-1,4-diium PAP-4, 1-methyl-piperazine-1,4-diium PAP-M4, homopiperazine-1,4-diium PAP-H4, 1-methyl-1,4-diazabicyclo-[2.2.2]octane-1,4-diium DAP-M4, respectively. Together with previously reported member, (H2dabco)[NH4(ClO4)3] (DAP-4, H2dabco2+ = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-diium), these six provide nice instances fine-tune oxygen balance, crystal density, thermal stability, detonation performance, changing A-site solely. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations Kamlet–Jacob (K–J) equation suggested that improving balance while keeping spherical shape match anionic cage in facilitates obtaining better providing an important clue designing advanced practicable materials. It is worth noting three compounds (PAP-4, DAP-O4) are expected exceed performances RDX both explosive propellant, which DAP-O4 has highest heat (6.21 kJ mol–1), velocity (8.900 km s–1), pressure (35.7 GPa), well higher specific impulse value (262 s).

Published: Sept. 27, 2019

High-energy-density materials (HEDMs) have been intensively studied for their significance in fundamental sciences and practical applications. Here, using the molecular crystal structure search method based on first-principles calculations, we predicted a series of metastable energetic trivalent metal pentazolate salts MN15 (M= Al, Ga, Sc, Y). These compounds high energy densities, with highest nitrogen content among nitrides so far. Pentazolate N5- molecules stack up face-to-face form wave-like patterns C2221 Cc symmetries. The strong covalent bonding very weak noncovalent interactions nonbonded overlaps coexist these ionic-like structures. We find structures are mechanically stable to temperature (∼1000 K) ambient pressure. More importantly, detonation pressure (∼80 GPa) velocity (∼12 km/s). Their pressures exceeding that TNT HMX make them good candidates high-brisance green materials.

Through an elaborate design rationally selected molecular components, new metal-free hexagonal perovskite compounds, which named as DAP-6 DAP-7 with general formula (H2dabco)B(ClO4)3 (H2dabco2+ = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-diium), were fabricated easily scaled-up using NH3OH+ NH2NH3+ B-site cations, respectively. Compared their NH4+ analog ((H2dabco)(NH4)(ClO4)3; DAP-4), has cubic structure, have higher crystal densities enthalpies formation, thus exhibiting calculated detonation performances. Specifically, ultrahigh thermal stability (decomposition temperatures (Td) 375.3 °C), high velocity (D 8.883 km·s−1), pressure (P 35.8 GPa); therefore, it exhibits potential heat-resistant explosive. Similarly, (Td 245.9 °C) excellent performance 9.123 km·s−1, P 38.1 GPa). Nevertheless, also possesses remarkably heat (Q 6.35 kJ·g−1) specific impulse (Isp 265.3 s), is superior to that hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20; Q 6.23 kJ·g−1, Isp 264.8 s). Thus, can serve promising high-performance material use.
