Abstract
A nitrogen-rich tetrazine-based dicationic
precursor,
(1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-diyl)dimethanaminium
chloride (3), was synthesized in an efficient three-step
procedure from readily available starting materials. Subsequent pairing
of 3 with a series of nitrogen- and oxygen-rich energetic
anions afforded energetic salts (4–12) that exhibit high detonation performance, good thermal stability,
and reduced mechanical sensitivity. Among all the compounds, 9 exhibited the most favorable balance between energetic performance
(Vd = 8533 m s–1; P = 27.09 GPa) and
stability (Td = 207 °C; IS = 12.5
J), with energetic performance comparable to that of the well-known
explosive RDX. Overall, these results demonstrate that tetrazine-derived
diamine cations provide a promising platform for the development of
thermally stable energetic salts with balanced energetic performance
and stability.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
