One contains the minimum Mulliken charges of nitro group, the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen, and the ratio of carbon to oxygen; the other contains the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy, the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen, and the ratio of carbon to oxygen. Using these two types of formulas, we calculate the electric spark sensitivity of these 14 cyclic nitramine molecules, and compare them with the experimental data and previous theoretical values. And our investigations show that the former type of formula is better than the latter on predicting the electric spark sensitivity for cyclic nitramine molecules.展开更多

In this report we present the comparative strategies involved in the syntheses of HNIW with respect to economical and environmental aspects.

A compilation of the available literature on the aforementioned characteristic properties for obtaining a value added ε-HNIW is discussed here.
