A methodology for the stepwise oxidation of tin(IV)-ONNO derivatives with a stoichiometric amount of p-benzoquinone was developed. This allowed the preparation of tin(IV) complexes containing the ligand in the tetraanionic doubly deprotonated form, in the dianionic state, and to carry out a controlled intraligand cyclization. It has been found that the diorganotin(IV) compounds with the dianionic form of the ONNO ligand have a ground singlet spin state, but an increase in temperature leads to a partial populating of the triplet state and a transition from the diamagnetic form of these complexes to the paramagnetic biradical ones. The UV-vis-NIR spectrum of L2-SnPh2 shows an intense absorption band in the range of 600 - 1400 nm, corresponding to the intraligand charge transfer (ILCT). The coordination ability of the solvent strongly influences the position of this solvatochromic band. Cyclic voltammetry revealed that this compound undergoes two sequential reversible single-electron oxidations and two sequential reversible single-electron reductions. This cyclic voltammetry remains unchanged even after 100 cycles have been performed.","PeriodicalId":71,"journal":{"name":"Dalton Transactions","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we utilized a NTO-analogue (5-amino-4-nitro-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one, ANPO) to prepare a series of new heat-resistant energetic compounds NPX-10~NPX-14 and their thermal decomposition temperatures are ranged from 311 °C to 386 °C, around 75-150 °C higher than that of NTO. At the same time, these five new heat-resistant energetic compounds exhibit low impact sensitivity (IS > 50 J) and friction sensitivity (FS > 360 N) like NTO, demonstrating the potential as insensitive heat-resistant energetic materials. In addition, the effects of the structure on the sensitivity and thermal stability are studied using the quantum chemical methods.
