Urazine – a Long Established Heterocycle and Energetic Chameleon
Abstract
Urazine is an easily accessible heterocycle from low‐cost starting materials. In this contribution a colorful palette of reactions is presented: anionic and cationic salt formation, complexation to a transition metal, and condensation with trinitroethanol. The structures of the resulting compounds were analyzed using X‐ray diffraction studies, furthermore, the materials were thoroughly characterized using NMR spectroscopy, vibrational analysis, as well as elemental analysis. Depending on the field of application further investigations as energetic materials were carried out, including hot plate and hot needle, small‐scale shock reactivity test (SSRT), laser initiation tests, and the estimation of the performance parameters using EXPLO5 V6.03 and Gaussian 09.
