A new energetic fullerene derivative [60]fullerene-poly(glycidyl nitrate) (C-60-PGN) Was synthesized through a modified Bingel reaction of C-60 and bromomalonic acid PGN ester in the presence of amino acid and dimethyl sulfoxide. The obtained product was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transfortn infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet visible spectroscopy. Results confirmed that C-60-PGN was synthesized successfully. The thermal decomposition analysis of C-60-PGN was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis with infrared spectroscopy, which revealed that C-60-PGN exhibits good resistance to thermal decomposition up to 200 degrees C. The kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition of C-60-PGN were also obtained from the differential thermal analysis data by Kissinger and Ozawa Doyle methods, with E-a = 170.85 and 168.29 kJ.mol(-1), respectively. C60-PGN exhibits stability higher than that of any other known polynitrofullereries.
