New energetic polyazole polynitrobenzenes exhibit high heats of formation and thermal stabilities, and react as useful ligands with silver dinitramide to give an energetic coordination complex.

Recently there has been increased interest in high nitrogen content “green” energetic materials which are designed to produce relatively non-toxic decomposition products as part of a push to decrease the environmental impact of energetic materials through all phases of their existence. With the use of a T-Jump/Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (T-Jump/TOFMS) capable of high heating rates (up to ...

RAM- and SCRAM-Jet engines can not generate static thrust only work at high speeds. This starting velocity of the motor v0 is usually generated by carrier rockets or boosters, which mostly use solid propellants based on ammonium perchlorate (AP) hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB). Modern dinitramide (ADN) Glycidyl Azide Polymer (GAP) have significant advantages in terms environmental comp...

The energetic ionic liquids formed by the 1,2,4-triazolium cation family and dinitramide anion are investigated by ab initio quantum chemistry calculations, to address the following questions: How does substitution at the triazolium ring's nitrogen atoms affect its heat of formation, and its charge delocalization? What kind of ion dimer structures might exist? And, do deprotonation reactions oc...
