The synthesis, characterization, theoretical calculations, and safety studies of energetic salts based on 1,2-bis(oxyamino)ethane, (H 2 NÀOÀCH 2 ÀCH 2 ÀOÀNH 2 ), were carried out. The salts were characterized by vibrational (infrared, Raman), multinuclear NMR studies ( 1 H, 13 C), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), elemental analysis, and initial safety testing (impact and friction sensitivity). Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies were carried out on the mono-perchlorate and the double nitrate salts, revealing the expected structures.
