Sensitivity is one of the most important characteristics energetic materials (EMs), and uncovering sensitivity mechanism still a challenge. In this work, we find that self-sustaining ignition ability predominant factor governing impact sensitivity, propose self-ignition propagation coefficient (SIPC) to represent capability for molecular decomposition based on heat release energy barrier. A higher correlation SIPC with measured experimentally validated by applying it more than 150 compounds high diversity components, structures in contrast those existing molecule-based models. The advantage can be attributed fact combines thermodynamics kinetics better represents sensitivity. Moreover, physical meaning encoded program high-throughput design due its accessibility level reliability fast screening.

Polymorphism is universal in energetic crystals and brings much complexity revealing the underlying mechanism for materials against external stimuli. This work comprehensively studies molecular conformers (MCs), stacking, related MC energy (MCE) lattice (LE) of polymorphs six common (EMs), including 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20), 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane (HMX), 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX), 2,2-dinitroethylene-1,1-diamine (FOX-7), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN). We find dominance MCE or LE determining most stable polymorph at conditions variable; i.e., dominates CL-20, RDX, PETN, FOX-7, while governs HMX, two TNT below −150 °C, they have almost same stability without a difference either LE. The variability responsible current difficulty crystal structure predictions. Moreover, temperature elevation reduces volume (Vm) β-FOX PETN-II by weakening intermolecular interactions field effects to relax molecules be smaller ones. Besides, high pressure several GPa mainly shortens distances, rather than compresses Vm. Finally, heat-induced polymorphic transformation FOX-7 from α- β- γ-forms allows it more closely face-to-face π–π stacked serves as reason its low impact sensitivity. All these findings are expected deepen insight into response EMs

The CL-20-based cocrystals (CCCs) are now the most active in field of energetic cocrystals, due to an advantage high energy density while a disadvantage low stability CL-20, which may be tuned with desired structures and properties by cocrystallization. This work presents comprehensive insight into packing 27 CCCs observed since 2017. First, it shows multiplicity coformer molecules various shapes sizes. Regarding conformers, β-, γ-, η-, ε-, ζ-forms appear CCCs, total above that CL-20 polymorphs; two forms can exist same CCC highlights difference conformers between single component crystals cocrystals; γ- β-forms govern population 87%. conformational diversity serves as reason for abundance CCCs. Meanwhile, stoichiometric ratios from 1:1 1:6 except 1:5 observed, lower ones predominate populations 48 40% 1:2, respectively. Moreover, exhibits wavelike, sandwich, channel, caged molecular stacking Among these stacking, O···H, O···N, O···O contacts dominate weak intermolecular interactions, feature hydrogen bonding H atoms acyl/ether O molecules, p (of on NO2 CL-20)−π big π-bonds molecules) interactions. interactions contribute small volume variations after cocrystallization, maximum relative error ∼3%. Besides, each mediates those related pure components; no outperforms ε-CL-20 density. Finally, we find contents N facilitate increase coefficients densities.

Crystal engineering is a highly efficient way to create new materials with the desired properties. Energetic cocrystallization has been thriving for ∼10 years since appearance of series TNT-based energetic cocrystals (ECCs). ECCs serve as one important aspect crystal (EMs). This article presents brief overview regarding component, intermolecular interaction, packing structure, main properties, and preparation, well theoretical treatment some issues raised future development. In most cases, properties an ECC are each moderated between those pure components, setting basis tuning by existing molecules, instead synthesizing molecules; meanwhile, there also exceptions, such higher density, detonation or lower impact sensitivity in comparison both components. These exceptions mutated will expand EMs. Generally, currently staying at primary stage, much effort being required solve urgent issues, property evaluation, large-scale fabrication, applications. Still, promising alternative EMs after all, it huge challenge synthesize satisfactory molecule.

The dominance of nitro pyrazole-based explosives in the recently reported high-performing energetic materials motivated us to comprehensively investigate energy–stability correlation among different compounds based on 3,5-dinitro pyrazoles employing various computational methods. We also explored and physicochemical properties overlooked compound 3,5-dinitropyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (CDNP). This study revealed that CDNP exhibits highest thermal stability 4-substituted-3,5-dinitropyrazoles, combined with an acceptable performance. These characteristics are attributed its layered packing, strong intermolecular interactions, carbonyl bonds. Furthermore, dicationic salt formation further allowed fine-tune overall performance stability. dihydroxylammonium (5) shows best performance, comparable well-known traditional explosive TATB, good low sensitivity toward impact friction.

A self-consistent charge density-functional tight-binding method combined with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and static density functional theory (DFT) calculations is employed to reveal the initial steps responsible for thermal decay of low sensitive high energetic material (EM) 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene (FOX-7). Constant temperature heating temperature-programmed are accounted in our MD resemble practice. We find that style has an impact on decomposition mechanism FOX-7. The N–O bond rupture produce O radical observed first time simulation from 300 3000 K, together C–NO2 cleavage. also capture intra- intermolecular hydrogen transferred structures constant at this case, NO2 partition serves as another kind primary step thermally decaying FOX-7 too. Static DFT show transfers most energetically favored breaking a or requires energy above 60 kcal/mol. Still, scission bonds can dominate reactions because serious distortion reduces required enhanced entropy effect temperatures. These findings expected deepen insight into EMs.
