Theoretical Study on the Nitrogen-rich Derivatives Based on 1,2,4-Triazole and 1,2,3-Triazole Rings:an Extended Family of Power Performance Energetic Materials

The geometric and electronic structures of the derivatives of 4-nitro-5-(5-nitroimino-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-2H-1,2,3-triazolate(named A~J)are explored employing density functional theory(DFT)calculations at the B3LYP/6-311G^(**)level of theory.Based on the optimized molecular structures,the heats of formation(HOF)are obtained,and the electronic properties,density and molecular sensitivity by characteristic heights(H_(50))are discussed.Besides,the detonation performances(detonation velocity,detonation pressure)are estimated via Kamlet-Jacobs(K-J)formula.Compounds B(H50=29.4 cm,ρ=1.91 g/cm^(3),Q=1563.04 cal/g,P=36.05 GPa,D=8.95 km/s)and H(H_(50)=31.9 cm,ρ=1.80 g/cm^(3),Q=1610.09 cal/g,P=37.31 GPa,D=9.12 km/s)have positive HOFs and remarkable insensitivity and good detonation performance,strongly suggesting them as the acceptable new-type explosive.The initiating power surpasses conventional primary explosives,such as HMX.The outstanding detonation power of compounds B and H contributes to its future prospects as a promising green primary explosive.

To search for potential energetic materials with large energy density and acceptable thermodynamics and kinetics stability,twelve derivatives of 4-nitro-5-(5-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-2H-1,2,3-triazolate(named A~L)are designed and analyzed by using density functional theory(DFT)calculations at the B3LYP/6-311G**level of theory.The molecular heats of formation(HOF),electronic structures,impact sensitivity(H_(50)),oxygen balance(OB)and density(ρ)are investigated by isodesmic reaction method and physicochemical formulas.Furthermore,the detonation velocity(D)and detonation pressure(P)are calculated to study the detonation performance by Kamlet-Jacobs(K-J)equation.These results show that new molecule J(H_(50)=36.9 cm,ρ=1.90g/cm^(3),Q=1912.46 cal/g,P=37.82 GPa,D=9.22 km/s,OB=0.00),compound A(H_(50)=27.9 cm,ρ=1.93 g/cm^(3),Q=1612.93 cal/g,P=38.90 GPa,D=9.19 km/s)and compound H(H_(50)=37.3 cm,ρ=1.97 g/cm^(3),Q=1505.06cal/g,P=37.20 GPa,D=9.01 km/s)present promising effects that are far better RDX and HMX as the high energy density materials.Our calculations can provide useful information for the molecular synthesis of novel high energy density materials.

Improved microwave-assisted catalyst-free synthesis of9-aryl-5,9-dihydropyrimido[4,5-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6,8(4H,7H)-dione derivatives

Agreen regioselective synthesis of some new and known 9-aryl-5,9-dihydropyrimido[4,5-d][l,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6,8（4H,7H）-diones has been described via the microwave-assisted one-pot reaction of 3-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazoles,aromatic aldehydes and barbituric acids under solvent- and catalyst-free conditions.This operationally simple procedure is less laborious and provides a better scope than previously reported procedures.
