The Structural Chemistry of Energetic Compounds
Abstract
Structural characterization of 12 energetic materials and precursoprs by x-ray diffraction was performed. The materials examined include: 6,6,10, 10- tetranitropentacyclo(5.3.02,5.03,9.04,8) decane; 2,6-Diamono-3,5-dinitro-1,4- pyrazine; 4,4,8,8-tetranitro-bicyclooctane; 2,3,4-Trinitropyrrole; 1,3,5- Trinitroso-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane; 3,3-Bis(methyl-nitroaminomethyl)oxetane; 3, 3-Bis(nitratomethyl)-oxetane; 3-Methoxy-2,4-dinitro-2,4-diazapentane; Tri- benzyltriazawurtzitane; 3-Cyano-4,4,5,5-tetramethylisoxazoline-n-oxide; 5-Aza-6 methoxyiracil; and N-(4-amino-1,2,5-triazolo)-N-methoxy-trichloroacetamidine. The compounds studied range in density from 1.175 mg/cu mm (tri-benzyl- triazawurtzitane) to 1.856 mg/cu mm (trinitropyrrole) and four have crystal densities in the range 1.717 to 1.856 mg/cu mm. Originator supplied keywords include: homocubane; oxetanes; nitropyrrole; nitramines; tetranitrobicyclooctane.
