This study describes a strategy to improve the detonation properties and thermal stability of energetic compounds by converting N atom to a C-NO2 group, resulting in NH2-NO2-NH2 block. A high-density amino-nitro-amino-substituted nitramine 3 was successfully synthesized using this strategy. Compound 3 exhibits high detonation performances and good thermal stability, surpassing RDX and showing great application potentials.
Developing energetic compounds with high performances and good molecular stabilities is considered difficult due to its inherent contradiction. In this work, the strategy for the conversion of an N atom to a C-NO2 group leading to a NH2-NO2-NH2 block was described to improve the detonation properties and the thermal stability of an energetic compound simultaneously. Based on this strategy, the amino-nitro-amino-substituted nitramine 3 with a high density of 1.96 g cm(-3) at room temperature was synthesized. In addition, another amino-nitro -substituted nitramine 9 was also prepared. The structures of 3 and 9 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 3 exhibits high detonation performances (VD: 8953 m s-1, P: 35.3 GPa) and a good thermal stability (Td: 223 ?), which are superior to RDX, suggesting its great application potentials.
