Molecule design and properties of bridged 2,2-bi(1,3,4-oxadiazole) energetic derivatives

Abstract

A series of bridged 2,2-bi(1,3,4-oxadiazole) energetic derivatives were designed and their geometrical structures, electronic structures, heats of formation, detonation properties, thermal stabilities and thermodynamic properties were fully investigated by density functional theory. The results showed that the -N 3 group and the -Nbridge play an important role in improving heats of formation of these 2,2bi(1,3,4-oxadiazole) derivatives. The calculated detonation properties indicated that the -NF 2 group and the -Nbridge were very useful for enhancing the heats of detonation, detonation velocities and detonation pressures. Twenty-four compounds were found to possess equal or higher detonation properties than those of RDX, while 14 compounds had equal or higher detonation properties than those of HMX. The analysis of the bond-dissociation energies suggested that the -CN group was the effective structural unit for increasing the thermal stabilities while the -NHNH 2 group decreased these values.Overall, taking both the detonation properties and thermal stabilities into consideration, 22 compounds (A4, A6, A8, A9, B4, B9, C2, C3, C4, C5, C7, C, C9 D4, D8, D9, E9, F4, F9, G9, H4 and H9) were selected as the potential candidates for high-energy-density materials.Scheme 1 Synthetic route of ICM-101.

“…Small energy gaps facilitate the transfer of electrons to higher energy states compared to large gaps, thus increasing the reactivity potential of the energetic material. However, we note some studies reported in the literature reveal a good correlation between energy gaps and sensitivity for a family of energetic molecules, while others reveal energy gaps generally are not a reliable indicator of sensitivity. − Thus, our assertion requires additional modeling and experimental verification. We present additional modeling results below, and sensitivity experiments are planned.…”

Screening for energetic compounds based on 1,3-dinitrohexahydropyrimidine skeleton and 5-various explosopheres: molecular design and computational study

“…Although these methods often generate some significant errors for various frameworks and groups, the errors are sometimes systematic and can be corrected. As to the thermal decomposition process of EMs, the rupture of “trigger linkage” is believed to be a key factor in detonation initiation 22 – 24 . Many researchers believe that C–NO 2 , N–NO 2 and O–NO 2 bonds are trigger spots in nitro compounds.…”

Design of Energetic Materials Based on Asymmetric Oxadiazole

“…This is because the detonation properties were mainly depended on these two parameters. Previous research have demonstrated that −NF 2 can enhance the density while −N 3 group can improve the heats of formation apparently . Besides, −NF 2 group can also acted as incendiary and oxidizing agent during the decomposition process of an explosive.…”

“…Previous research have demonstrated that À NF 2 can enhance the density while À N 3 group can improve the heats of formation apparently. [6,7] Besides, À NF 2 group can also acted as incendiary and oxidizing agent during the decomposition process of an explosive. Then the next work is to select proper backbone which possesses acceptable density and heat of formation.…”
