Studies on metal salts of 4-(2,4,6 - trinitroanilino) benzoic acid

Synthesis, characterization, thermolysis and performance evaluation studies on alkali metal salts of TABA and NTO

“…The spectral patterns obtained for NTO and TABA are in close agreement with the reported data [1,9,10]. TABA displayed characteristic IR stretching frequency at 3600 and 1674 cm −1 due to hydroxyl and carbonyl groups, respectively.…”

“…TABA was synthesized by refluxing picryl chloride with p-amino benzoic acid at 70-75 • C, on the lines of reported method [9]. TABA-IR spectrum (Perkin-Elmer FTIR-1600 spectrophotometer-KBr pellet) ( 2 ] were prepared on the lines of the method established in HEMRL for transition metal salts [9,10] (Scheme 1).…”

“…TABA-IR spectrum (Perkin-Elmer FTIR-1600 spectrophotometer-KBr pellet) ( 2 ] were prepared on the lines of the method established in HEMRL for transition metal salts [9,10] (Scheme 1). In order to obtain K-TABA, 0.56 g of (0.01 mol) KOH was dissolved in 15 cm 3 of distilled water in a beaker.…”

Environmentally compatible next generation green energetic materials (GEMs)

“…Metal salts of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one have also been recommended as potential energetic ballistic modifiers (EBMs) for solid propellants [110]. Limited studies have been carried out on the salts of trinitroanilino benzoic acid (TABA) in HEMRL as ballistic modifier in double base systems [111,112]. Study on the synthesis and performance evaluation of various EBMs like Li and K [113] and transition metal salts [114] of TABA and NTO as an alternate new ballistic modifiers for ammonium perchlorate (AP)-hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) composite propellant is reported.…”

Studies on salts of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) and 2,4,6-trinitroanilino benzoic acid (TABA): Potential energetic ballistic modifiers

“…The starting materials NTO [7] and TABA [8] were synthesized as reported in the literature. Copper nitrate, cobalt nitrate, nickel nitrate and ferric nitrate were procured from trade and used as such.…”
