Abstract

Two series of both nitrogen-rich and thermostable energetic materials as well as their energetic salts based on hetarenecarboxylic acids are now described. Among these new compounds, neutral compounds3and10have higher nitrogen contents (69.66% and 63.05%) than their energetic salts, which suggests that they could be used as green energetic materials. In addition, compound3shows a good decomposition temperature (Td= 281 °C), which is close to that of TNT (Td= 295 °C). Nitrogen-rich salt6exhibits better integrated energetic-properties (D= 8913 m s−1, IS = 24 J, FS = 320 N) than RDX (D= 8795 m s−1, IS = 7.5 J, FS = 120 N).
