Studies on salts of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) and 2,4,6-trinitroanilino benzoic acid (TABA): Potential energetic ballistic modifiers

Environmentally compatible next generation green energetic materials (GEMs)

“…Limited studies have been carried out on the salts of trinitroanilino benzoic acid (TABA) in HEMRL as ballistic modifier in double base systems [111,112]. Study on the synthesis and performance evaluation of various EBMs like Li and K [113] and transition metal salts [114] of TABA and NTO as an alternate new ballistic modifiers for ammonium perchlorate (AP)-hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) composite propellant is reported.…”

Preparation, non-isothermal decomposition kinetics, heat capacity and adiabatic time-to-explosion of NTO·DNAZ

“…Owing to the acid nature of NTO (pK a = 3.67 [1]), it can form salts of aromatic and aliphatic amines [2][3][4][5][6][7] besides metal salts [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Azetidine-based explosives, such as 1,3,3-trinitroazetidine (TNAZ) [20,21] demonstrate excellent performance partly because of the high strain associated with the four-membered ring.…”

Quantum chemical study on 5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (NTO) and some of its constitutional isomers

“…K, Cu and Pb-NTO were also studied in literature [20]. Although, there have been many studies about NTO in literature [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], there has been very rare information about the constitutional isomers or tautomers of NTO Scheme 2. The numbering scheme and molecular structure of a generic NTO (1) molecule.…”
