The properties of catenated nitrogen molecules, molecules containing internal chains of
bonded nitrogen atoms, is of fundamental scientific interest in chemical structure and …

This paper provides an overview of the main developments over the past nine years in the
study of the sensitivity of energetic materials (EM) to impact, shock, friction, electric spark …

Some general guidelines and specific molecular/crystalline features for promoting a high
level of detonation performance in conjunction with low sensitivity are proposed. A key point …

The first anionic tetrazole-2 N-oxide has been prepared by mild aqueous oxidation of easily
prepared 5-nitrotetrazole with commercially available oxone in high yields. The result of …

We have explored various aspects of the Kamlet-Jacobs equations for estimating detonation
velocities and pressures. While the loading density of the explosive compound is certainly …

In this contribution, the synthesis and full structural and spectroscopic characterization of five
bis‐1, 2, 4‐triazoles in combination with different energetic moieties like amino, nitro …

The development of new energetic materials is an emerging area of materials chemistry
facilitated by a worldwide need to replace materials used at present, due to environmental …

We discuss three molecular/crystalline properties that we believe to be among the factors
that influence the impact/shock sensitivities of energetic materials (ie, their vulnerabilities to …

The novel, thermally stable explosive 5, 5′‐bis (2, 4, 6‐trinitro‐phenyl)‐2, 2′‐bi (1, 3, 4‐
oxadiazole)(TKX‐55) is reported. This compound can be prepared by means of a facile …

5-Amino-1-benzyloxytetrazole was aminated with O-tosylhydroxylamine. The
diaminobenzyloxytetrazolium intermediate was debenzylated to yield the highly energetic 1 …
