Energetic salts from N-aminoazoles.
New energetic salts (2, 3, 5, 6, 13, 14, 21, 22) were synthesized via the quaternization of derivatives of N-aminoazoles with nitric or perchloric acid or with iodomethane followed by metathesis reaction with silver nitrate or silver perchlorate. The structure of 2-amino-4,5-dimethyltetrazolium nitrate (21) was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Most of the salts exhibit good thermal stabilities and low melting points. By using experimentally determined constant volume combustion energies, the standard molar enthalpies of formation were derived on the basis of designed Hess thermochemical cycles.
