Abstract

4-Amino-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazole (AHT) was developed as a divalent cation. The multivalent structure can be used to increase the number of nitrogen-rich heterocycles, thereby increasing the heat of formation and improving the detonation performance. Herein we report on a family of divalent energetic salts, which exhibit excellent properties, viz. acceptable density, good detonation performance, and desirable thermal and impact stabilities. The structural features of the salts were further determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In addition, the detonation properties calculated for these energetic salts identified them as competitively energetic compounds.
