In addition to the three classical methods for adjusting the performance of energetic complexes, in order to explore the influence of different bonding types on the performance of energetic materials, we designed ionic salts PZCA•HClO 4 (3) and ECPs [Ag(PZCA)ClO 4 ] n (4) with PZCA(1H-pyrazole-4carbohydrazide) as the ligand. They use the same ligands and oxidizing acids and also have the same N/O number. On the basis of their structures and compositions confirmed by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, the characterization of physical and chemical properties shows that 4 has better thermal decomposition behavior (ΔT = 30 °C), more suitable mechanical sensitivity (IS = 5 J, FS = 9 N), and more outstanding initiation performance. After studying the decomposition mechanism, we find that different types of bonds (H bond or coordination covalent bond) lead to different decomposition mechanisms (redox reaction or free radical reaction) and, finally, show great differences in explosive properties.
Based on the ideas of coordination chemistry and design chemistry, we propose a new strategy to break through the limitation of the number of oxidizing acid radicals in energetic coordination...
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.
