Energetic trinitro and fluoro-dinitro ethyl ethers of 1,2,4,5 tetrazine

摘要

Several new energetic ethyl ethers of 1,2,4,5-tetrazine have been synthesized. These molecules display good thermal stability and high densities. Included in our studies are a 2,2,2-trinitroethoxy 1,2,4,5-tetrazine and two dinitro-fluoroethoxy 1,2,4,5-tetrazines. One of these compounds was converted to the di-N-oxide derivative. The sensitivity of these materials towards destructive stimuli was determined, and overall the materials show promising energetic performance properties.
