Abstract

The novel, high-nitrogen, energetic compound, 3,6-bis(3-nitro-1,2,4- oxadiazole-5-guanyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (NOG2Tz, 8, N 53.08%), was synthesised and fully characterised. Thermal decomposition kinetics and several thermodynamic parameters were obtained under non-isothermal conditions by DSC. NOG2Tz exhibits a high density and was calculated to have favourable detonation properties. It is thermally stable (Tdec. 328 °C) and remarkably insensitive to impact.
