Abstract
Bis(4-nitraminofurazanyl-3-azoxy)azofurazan (1) and ten of its energetic salts were prepared and fully characterized. Computational analysis based on isochemical shielding surface and trigger bond dissociation enthalpy provide a better understanding of the thermal stabilities for nitramine-furazans. These energetic compounds exhibit good densities, high heats of formation, and excellent detonation velocity and pressure. Some representative compounds, for example, 1 (vD: 9541 m s−1; P: 40.5 GPa), and 4 (vD: 9256 m s−1; P: 38.0 GPa) exhibit excellent detonation performances, which are comparable with current high explosives such as RDX (vD: 8724 m s−1; P: 35.2 GPa) and HMX (vD: 9059 m s−1; P: 39.2 GPa).
