High Nitrogen Explosives. Part 1. 2,6-Dinitropyridines and Dibenzo-1,3a,4,6a-Tetraazapentalenes

摘要

High nitrogen materials are sought as potential dense powerful but insensitiveexplosive and propellant ingredients. Progress towards the synthesis of 3,5-diamino-2,4,6-trinitropyridine-1-oxide is described. Also described is recent research to elucidate the chemistry of 2,4,8,10-tetranitrodibenzo-1,3a,4,6a-tetraazapentalene (TACOT), which will enable the development of new energetic materials based on this ring system. Explosives, Synthesis, Sensitivity, Stability, Performance.
