In
this work, a combined strategy of bridging two tetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazine rings and introducing intramolecular hydrogen
bonds (N–H···O) with a hydrazo group was developed
to construct a new high-energy and heat-resistant energetic compound
named 6,6′-hydrazo-bis(8-amino-7-nitrotetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazine) (1). Its dehydrogenated derivative
6,6′-azo-bis(8-amino-7-nitrotetrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazine) (2), which had fewer intramolecular hydrogen
bonds (N–H···O), was also synthesized for comparison.
Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by
high-resolution mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, single-crystal
X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analysis.
Their properties, such as densities (ρ: 1.87 g·cm–3 for 1, 1.77 g·cm–3 for 2), heat of formation values (ΔH
f: 1079 kJ·mol–1 for 1,
1235 kJ·mol–1 for 2), detonation
velocities (D
v: 9064 m·s–1 for 1, 8429 m·s–1 for 2), detonation pressures (P: 35.2 GPa for 1, 27.8 GPa for 2), decomposition temperatures
(T
d: 292 °C for 1, 260
°C for 2), impact sensitivities (IS: 16 J for 1, 4 J for 2), and friction sensitivities (FS:
>360 N for 1, 160 N for 2), were tested.
These results suggest that compound 1 is a promising
high-energy and thermally stable energetic material.
