High nitrogen compounds find wide use in the development of new propellants and explosives as well as pharmaceutical chemistry as bioisosteres, bacterial stains, and antifungal agents. A class of underexplored...

We report a [3+2] cycloaddition using 3,6-bis-propargyloxy-1,2,4,5-tetrazine and azides to synthesize energetic polymers containing 1,2,4,5-tetrazine within the scaffold. This work also includes [3+2] cycloaddition to crosslink azide containing glycidyl azide...

Metal nitrides are strong refractory ceramic materials known for applications in the coatings, catalysis, and semiconductor industries. Lanthanide nitrides are difficult to prepare in high purity and often require high...

A simple synthetic strategy for the preparation of high nitrogen content azo- and methylene bridged mixed energetic azoles was used. All new compounds were fully characterized by NMR and infrared...

To find a balance between energy and safety, a series of compounds based on azo-, azoxy-, 1,4,2,5-dioxadiazene-, and 3,6-diamino-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-bridged bis(aminofurazan) were designed and synthesized. These compounds were analyzed by nitro...

A new, safer, and more cost-effective methodology to synthesize salts based on -dinitromethyl-functionalized 5-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazolate is given. Cyclization, deprotection, nitration, and neutralization reactions were conducted to obtain products in high yield....

Exploring new energetic derivatives of 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene (FOX-7) is still a key aspect in the field of energetic materials. However, so far most of the attention has been focused on modification...

Understanding the factors that affect explosive sensitivity is paramount to the safe handling and development of new explosives molecules. Erythritol tetranitrate (ETN) is an explosive that recently has attracted significant...

Two metal-free explosives, tetrazolo[1,5-]pyridazine-containing molecules [6-azido-8-nitrotetrazolo[1,5-]pyridazine-7-amine () and 8-nitrotetrazolo[1,5-]pyridazine-6,7-diamine ()], were obtained via straightforward two-step synthetic routes from commercially available reagents. Compound displays an excellent detonation performance ( = 8746...

Using the triazine ring as the stabilizing factor, a series of energy-safety balanced fused ring compounds were successfully studied. Compounds , , and ·HO were further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray...
