Abstract

Two energetic coordination polymers, Pb 2 (AOT) 2 ·7(H 2 O) (1) (AOT: 5,5′-azo-bis(1-oxidotetrazonate)) and Pb 2 (AOT)O·3(H 2 O) (2), were prepared at different temperatures and pressures. X-ray data indicate that compound 1 is a 1D structure, while compound 2 is a compact 3D structure. Unlike previous methods on structural modulation, changes of organic ligands or metal nodes are not needed in this work. Experimental analysis and energetic evaluations show that 2 exhibits better mechanical sensitivity, thermal stability, and detonation performance than 1.
