Synthesis and characterization of the mixed-ligand coordination polymer Cu₃Cl(N₄C-NO₂)₂

Abstract

Reduction of copper(II) chloride using sodium ascorbate in the presence of pure sodium 5-nitro-tetrazolate (NaNT) forms copper(I) 5-nitrotetrazolate - a known initiatory explosive (DBX-1) - and the novel mixed-ligand copper(I)...

Process Study on One-Pot Synthesis of DBX-1 with High Conversion Rate and Intrinsic Safety

“…After 304.1 °C, the exothermic peak appeared, and the first two peaks were sharper in shape. The DSC curve of DBX-1 exhibits a single sharp exothermic peak with an exothermic peak temperature of 311.7 °C and a decomposition peak temperature of 321.7 °C . The curve is smooth between these temperatures, indicating the good heat resistance performance of DBX-1.…”

Cupric coordination compounds with multiple anions: a promising strategy for the regulation of energetic materials

“…10–12 Moreover, they exhibit excellent performance or application by introducing different kinds of ligands, metal cations, and anions, increasing the variety of metal cations as well as the variety of anions. 13–17 For example, N 3 − (azide ions) gives the complex higher mechanical sensitivity and strong detonation ability, while DCA − (dicyandiamide ions) gives the complex better thermal stability, lower sensitivity, and higher combustion heat. 18,19 Another example is the preparation of Cu(N 3 ) 2 (L) (L = 1-methyltetrazole (MTZ), 1-ethyltetrazole (ETZ), and 1-propyltetrazole (PTZ)), which regulates the stability and mechanical sensitivity of copper azide by changing the ligand.…”
