A New Energetic Material and its Risk Research

(Figure Presented) Bis (1, 5-diamino-4-methyl-tetrazolium) azotetrazolate (BMDATZT) was synthesized with high yield in this work. The yield is 97.46%. The structure was characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, and MS. The single crystal of BMDATZT•2H₂O was first cultivated. The heat of formation, detonation pressure, and detonation velocity were first calculated. The crystalline density of BMDATZT•2H₂O is 1.573 g/cm³. BMDATZT has high detonation pressure and detonation velocity (P =25.06 GPa, D = 7.805 km s^-1), which are higher than those of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT). Its thermal and mechanical sensitivities are moderate. Therefore, it is a kind of insensitive nitrogen-rich energetic ionic salt with good performance, and it has potential application prospect in gas generating agent, explosive and solid propellant.
