The Synthesis and Characterization of Methylene Bisoxyamine CH2(-O-NH2)2 Salts
Abstract
A large family of energetic salts were made using methylene bisoxyamine, CH2(-O-NH2)2, a dibasic, geminal oxyamine of methane. Single salts including the nitrate, perchlorate, dinitramide, and nitroformate, and doubly protonated methylene bisoxyamine salts, nitrate, perchlorate and bisdinitramide, were all synthesized in good to high yields, from simple acid-base reactions with the corresponding aci-forms of energetic anions. All of the salts were characterized by vibrational (IR, Raman), multinuclear nmr (1H, 13C), and DSC studies. The single crystal X-ray diffraction study was carried out on the double perchlorate salt. Initial safety studies (impact and friction), were carried out on most of the new materials, as well as the thermal stability of these salts at 75 deg C.
