Abstract

The novel high nitrogen-containing energetic complex [Cd(DAT) 6](NO3)2was synthesized by reaction of Cd(NO3)2·6H2O with 1,5-diamino-tetrazole (DAT). It was characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, analysis. The central Cd2+ ion is coordinated by six nitrogen atoms from six DAT ligand molecules to form a hexacoordinate distorted octahedral compound. The [Cd(DAT)6](NO 3)2 molecules are linked together through two types of hydrogen bonds thus forming a stable three-dimensional net structure. The thermal decomposition mechanism of [Cd(DAT)6](NO3) 2 was investigated by DSC and TG/DTG analyses and FT-IR spectroscopy. The kinetic parameters of the exothermic process were studied by using Kissinger's and Ozawa-Doyle's methods.
