The significant expenditures for organic synthesis of high‐energy materials necessitate an a priori evaluation of prospects for physical‐chemical parameters. The most important of these parameters is the heat of formation characterizing this or the other compound suggested for synthesis.
This study describes and analyzes the most well‐known and widely used schemes and methods for evaluating and predicting the energy capacity of high‐energetic materials. The accuracy of calculations is evaluated for different schemes; the limits of their applicability are determined.
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.
