Energetic salts based on an oxygen-containing cation: 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine-6-one.
A family of energetic salts with high thermal stability and low impact sensitivity based on an oxygen-containing cation, 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine-6-one, were synthesized and fully characterized by IR and multinuclear ((1)H, (13)C) NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. Insights into their sensitivities towards impact, friction, and electrostatics were gained by submitting the materials to standard tests. The structures of 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine-6-one nitrate, 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine-6-one sulfate, 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine-6-one perchlorate, 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine-6-one 5-nitrotetrazolate were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction; their densities are 1.691, 1.776, 1.854, and 1.636 g cm(-3), respectively. Most of the salts decompose at temperatures over 180 °C; in particular, the salts 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine-6-one nitrate and 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine-6-one perchlorate, which decompose at 303.3 and 336.4 °C, respectively, are fairly stable. Furthermore, most of the salts exhibit excellent impact sensitivities (>40 J), friction sensitivities (>360 N), and are insensitive to electrostatics. The measured densities of these energetic salts range from 1.64 to 2.01 g cm(-3) . The detonation pressure values calculated for these salts range from 14.6 to 29.2 GPa, and the detonation velocities range from 6536 to 8275 m s(-1) ; these values make the salts potential candidates for thermally stable and insensitive energetic materials.
