An Effective Method for the Oxidation of Aminofurazans to Nitrofurazans

Thermal Decomposition of Energetic Materials 77. Behavior of N-N Bridged Bifurazan Compounds on Slow and Fast Heating

“…DAF was a gift from the Thiokol Corporation and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), crude ANAF was a gift from Dean Woolery of AFRL, and DAHzF was a gift of Dr. Mike Hiskey of Los Alamos National Laboratory. Literature methods were used to prepare ANF (15) , DAAF (15) , DNAzF (33) , DAAzF (38) , and DNAF (38) . DNHzF is a new compound.…”

A review of advanced high performance, insensitive and thermally stable energetic materials emerging for military and space applications

“…DAAF has a crystal density of 1.747 g/cm 3 , H f = 106 kcal/mol and H 50 >320 cm (2.5 kg Type 12). Novikova et al [44] reported the synthesis of 4,4 -dinitro-3,3 -azoxy bis (furazan) (DNABF) and 4,4 -dinitro,3,3 -azobis (furaza) (DNAzBF), all very energetic but shock sensitive compounds.…”

Crystal Structures of Furazanes

“…Compound 1 was heated in an autoclave to build the furazan ring eliminating one molecule of water to give diaminofurazan 2 [8]. To obtain compound 3, compound 2 was oxidized with persulfuric acid and Na2WO4 [9]. Compound 3 can be easily nitrated under relatively "mild" conditions with N2O5 to give 3-nitramino-4-nitrofurazan 4 [5].…”
