Abstract

Salts of trinitromethyl-substituted triazoles, 5-nitro-3-trinitromethyl-1 H-1, 2, 4-triazole and 5, 5′-bis (trinitromethyl)-3, 3′-azo-1 H-1, 2, 4-triazole (5), form a new class of highly dense energetic materials. Single-crystal X-ray structuring supports the formation of the cocrystal of 5 with 3, 5-diamino-1, 2, 4-triazole, which was found to be remarkably less impact-sensitive than the azo precursor. The compounds were fully characterized using IR and ...
