Abstract

An energetic coordination compound [Cd(DAT)6](ClO4)2 has been synthesized by using 1,5-diaminotetrazole (DAT) as ligand and its structure has been characterized by applying X-ray single crystal diffraction, elemental analysis and FT-IR spectroscopy. The central cadmium(II) cation is coordinated by six N atoms from six DAT molecules to form a six-coordinated and distorted octahedral structure. Di-dimension layer structure was formed and the layers were linked together by the extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonds between DAT ligands and ClO4- anions. Thermal decomposition mechanism of the title compound was predicted based on DSC, TG-DTG and FT-IR analyses results. The kinetic parameters of the first exothermic process of the title compound were studied by applying the Kissinger's and Ozawa-Doyle's methods. Sensitivity tests reveal that the title compound has sensitive nature.
