Synthesis and properties of binuclear ferrocene energetic compounds as combustion rate catalyst

Abstract In order to improve the catalytic performance, oxidation resistance and thermal stability of neutral alkyl ferrocene‐based combustion rate catalysts, mononuclear ferrocene energetic compounds were designed prepared, but four binuclear unexpectedly discovered during synthesis compounds. The new characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, 1 H 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, high‐resolution mass spectrometry. crystal structures a , b c d confirmed that we have successfully prepared nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic thermogravimetric results revealed most exhibit high stability. electrochemical properties examined cyclic voltammetry (CV) differential pulse voltammetry; CV experimental indicated these showed good which contributed their burning activity in composite solid propellants. Differential scanning calorimetry was used study performance for ammonium perchlorate (AP). show effect on AP due increase number groups.
