Abstract

Two high-nitrogen energetic salts were prepared by reacting 3,6-dihydrazino-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (DHT) and perchloric acid or nitric acid aqueous solution. Their structures have been determined by using X-ray single crystal diffraction method. (DHT)(NO3)2 (1) belongs to monoclinic, C2/c space group, a=1.300 0 (6) nm, b = 0.834 9 (3) nm, c=1.018 7(5) nm, β=118.89(5)°, Z=4; (DHT) (ClO4)2 (2) belongs to orthorhombic, P21212 space group, a=0.980 4 (4) nm, b=1.074 7 (4) nm, c=0.532 5 (2) nm, Z=2. The thermal decomposition was investigated with DSC and TG-DTG measurement. The non-isothermal kinetic parameters of the first exothermic process were studied by applying Kissingers, Ozawa-Doyles and Starinks methods. The critical temperature of thermal explosion and sensitivity properties also have been fully investigated. We can come to the conclusion that the two salts have potential application in sensitive energetic material area.
