Explosive properties of furoxanes

Abstract

The detonation characteristics of explosives from the class of furoxanes are calculated. It is shown that furoxanes containing other explosophoric groups have very high detonation parameters. The high sensitivity of furoxanes, which is their common property, can be eliminated, at the expense of a decrease in their power, by increasing their thermodynamic stability due to the conjunction of the furoxane cycle with the benzene ring and the formation of hydrogen compounds. The production of furoxane based explosive compositions of the oxidizer-fuel type is also promising.

Thermal Kinetic Performance and Thermal Safety of 3,3’‐Bis‐Oxadiazole‐5,5’‐Bis‐Methylene Dinitrate

“…High energy density materials (HEDM) with excellent detonation property and low sensitivity have received increased attention by the scientific and engineering community over past few decades [1][2][3][4]. Particularly, the development of insensitive melt-castable HEDM has been at the forefront of energetic materials research.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Diaminobisfuroxane

“…Among the class of oxadiazoles,1 1,2,5‐oxadiazole‐2‐oxides (furoxanes) have especially reached great attendance in energetic materials chemistry, as they combine high nitrogen and oxygen contents often with high densities 2. Density, oxygen balance, and heat of formation are important performance parameters for energetic materials.…”

A DFT Study on Benzotrifuroxan and its Isomers

“…Its performance parameters are equivalent to HMX-based explosives, but with a different isentrope. Benzotrifuroxan is a chemically reactive compound and forms various compounds with electron-donating substrates (8,(20)(21)(22)(23)(24).…”
