title: Heterometallic Werner complexes as energetic materials.
abstract: New heterometallic Werner complexes have been synthesized by combining the cobalt cationic [Co(NH3)6]3+ species with a nitrato metal fragment [M(NO3)4](x-) (M = Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn) or with metal oxides X2MO4 (M = Mo, W and X = Na, NH4). Depending on the metals, an organic and/or a water synthetic route was developed. X-Ray data on Mn and Cu precursors have shown the versatility of nitrate ligand coordination. TDA-TGA studies have been performed to demonstrate the energetic material character. The [Co(NH3)6]x[M(NO3)4]3 complexes display a good oxygen balance and, as shown by standard sensitivity tests, are suitable for automotive applications.
