Thermodynamics of Organic Compounds.

Abstract

Research continued on hydrocarbons with unusual strained bridging bonds that may contribute knowledge needed to tailor organic molecules having good energy/volume or energy/mass characteristics. Three compounds were studied containing the 'cyclo-buta' bridge, a study commenced in FY 76. A study was begun on certain alkylnaphthalenes and indans in which high steric interaction energy should contribute to high enthalpy of combustion. Two ram-jet fuels were studied, fuels already in use. (Author)
