Catalytic Effect of Transition Metal Complexes of Triaminoguanidine on the Thermolysis of Energetic NC/DEGDN Composite

The transition metal complexes of triaminoguanidine(TAG-M,where M=Cobalt(Co)or Iron(Fe))have been prepared.The catalytic effect of these complexes on the thermolysis of energetic composite based on nitrocellulose and diethylene glycol dinitrate,has been investigated.Extensive characterization of the resulting energetic composites was carried out using scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC).Isoconversional kinetic analysis was performed to determine the Arrhenius parameters associated with the thermolysis of the elaborated energetic formulations.It is found that TAG-M complexes have strong catalytic effect on the thermo-kinetic decomposition of NC/DEGDN by decreasing the apparent activation energy and significantly increased the total heat release.The models that govern the decomposition processes are also studied,and it is revealed that different reaction processes are accomplished by introduction metal complexes of triaminoguanidine.Overall,this study serves as a valuable reference for future research focused on the investigation of catalytic combustion features of solid propellants.

Probing electronic structures of transition metal complexes using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy

Electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)or electron spin resonance(ESR)has been widely employed to characterize transition metal complexes.However,because of the high degree of complexity of transition metal EPR spectra,how to extract the underlying electronicstructure information inevitably poses a major challenge to beginners,in particular for systems with S>1/2.In fact,the physical principles of transition metal EPR have long been well-established and since 1970s a series of dedicated voluminous monographs have been published already.Not surprisingly,they are not appropriate stating points for novices to grasp a panorama of the profound theory prior to scrutinizing in-depth references.The present review aims to fill this gap to provide a perspective of transition metal EPR and unveil some peculiar subtleties thereof on the basis of our recent work.
