Molecular modelling is an appreciated tool that brings valuable data on physical and chemical characteristics of materials that eliminates the necessity of conducting any experiment. This method allows to calculate the performance of energetic molecules to be synthesized. In the work, the detonation parameters of the energetic organic compounds Pentaerythritol tetranitrate(PETN), Butanetriol trinitrate (BTTN), Trimetylolethane trinitrate (TMETN) and Diethyleneglycol dinitrate (DEGDN) has theoretically been calculated and some values compared with the literature values. Moreover, three hypothetical molecules combining PETN with other explosive molecules have been designed. The detonation properties have been calculated using density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) basis set. It has been concluded that all molecules have the effect of increasing the explosion parameters of PETN.
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.
