Abstract

The structure and properties of 5, 8-Dinitro-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydrotetrazolo[1, 5-b][1, 2, 4]triazine (DNTzTr) were investigated by using quantum chemistry methods. The optimized geometry and electronic density, IR and NMR spectrum data were calculated for inspecting the electronic structure properties and nature of chemical bonds at B3LYP/6-311+G(2d) level. The critical macroscopic properties such as density, enthalpy of formation and detonation performance have been also predicted. The results show that the enthalpy of formation and density of DNTzTr are 497.64kJ/mol and 1.82g/cm3, respectively. The detonation velocity and pressure are 8.73km/s and 33.97GPa, respectively. It possesses good detonation properties and can be the potential energetic material.
