A new multi‐ligand coordination polymer of zinc(II) hydrazine azide, [Zn(N2H4)2(N3)2]n, was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and FT‐IR spectrum. Its crystal structure was determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis: triclinic, space group P$\bar{1}$, a = 0.4121(1) nm, b = 0.6281(1) nm, c = 0.7072(2) nm, α = 68.443(6)°, β = 89.360(11)°, γ = 89.197(9)°,V = 0.1702(1) nm3, Dc = 2.083 g·cm–3, Z = 1, R1 = 0.0316, wR2 [I > 2σ(I)] = 0.0780 and S = 0.998. The ZnII ion is hexacoordinated with two azido ligands by μ1‐azido bridges and four hydrazine molecules, which serve as bidentate ligands through the nitrogen atoms. The thermal decomposition mechanism of the title complex was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry‐derivative thermogravimetry (TG‐DTG) techniques. Under nitrogen atmosphere with a heating rate of 20 K·min–1, the thermal decomposition of the complex contained one main endothermic process and two main successive exothermic processes between 474 K and 648 K in the DSC curve. Its combustion heat was measured by oxygen bomb calorimetry. The non‐isothermal kinetics parameters were calculated by the Kissinger’s method, Ozawa‐Doyle’s method, pervasive integral method, and differential method, respectively. The sensitivity properties of [Zn(N2H4)2(N3)2]n were also determined with standard methods, which was very sensitive to external stimulus.
Direct ink writing (DIW) is a new trend in the micro-scale charging of energetic materials. In this study, a CL-20 based composite was prepared using DIW, and its properties were characterized. Results indicated that the particles of the composite are found at the sub-micron level, and a single layer measures at 2.4 mm. The composite has high density and low impact sensitivity, and its critical detonation size is around 1 3 0.4 mm. This feature will contribute to the detonation at the micro levelto a certain degree.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
