Synthesis and calculation of properties of N-difluoroaminoazoles, the novel type of energetic materials
A novel class of energetic materials, N-difluoroaminonitroazoles was synthesized. One molecule of these compounds contains simultaneously a nitro group and difluoroamine one. A method of synthesizing N-difluoroaminonitroazoles incorporates the interaction of N-unsubstituted nitroazoles with O-fluorosulfonyl-N,N-difluorohydroxylamine (F2NOSO2F) in the presence of bases. To estimate possible prospects of these compounds, energy content, molecular crystal density, some parameters of detonation and combustion were calculated using some well-known methods of computational chemistry, as well as some of our original schemes. In addition, thermostability (by the DTA method) and density were identified experimentally for a cross-section row of the studied compounds. The reasons for relatively low stability of this type of substances were given.
