Energetic coordination compounds (ECCs) have demonstrated unique advantages in regulating the physicochemical properties of energetic materials through the design of organic ligands. The fundamental approach involves altering the electron cloud density distribution of organic ligands to modify the characteristics of coordination sites and, thus, achieve new coordination configurations. In this study, Mulliken charge distribution and surface electrostatic potential analysis were used to elucidate the effects of pyridinic N, pyrrolic N, oxazolic O, and thiazolic S on the electron cloud density of carbohydrazide groups through the induction effect and conjugate effect. Furthermore, three AgClO 4 -based ECCs were synthesized based on 1H-imidazole-4-carbohydrazide, oxazole-4-carbohydrazide, and thiazole-4carbohydrazide. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that [Ag(IZ-4-CA)ClO 4 ] n has a one-dimensional (1D) chain structure, while Ag 2 (OZCA) 2 (ClO 4 ) 2 and Ag 2 (SZCA) 2 (ClO 4 ) 2 exhibit zero-dimensional structures. The 1D structure, with good planarity, results in [Ag(IZ-4-CA)ClO 4 ] n having lower mechanical sensitivity (IS = 21 J, FS = 80 N). The introduction of oxazolic O enhances oxygen balance (OB), leading to a higher predicted detonation velocity and pressure for Ag 2 (OZCA) 2 (ClO 4 ) 2 (D = 6.4 km s −1 , P = 23.6 GPa). Although the introduction of thiazolic S is unfavorable for improving oxygen balance, Ag 2 (SZCA) 2 (ClO 4 ) 2 exhibits the highest initial decomposition temperature among the three, at 232 °C. Additionally, initiation tests demonstrated that three ECCs can successfully detonate cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX), indicating good initiation capabilities.
