Description
Summary:Physicochemical properties, such as thermal decomposition, burning behavior, and flame structure of low-melting oxygen-rich energetic N -trinitromethyl-3,4-dinitropyrazole ( 1 ), N -trinitromethyl-3,5-dinitropyrazole ( 2 ), N -flurodinitromethyl-3,5-dinitropyrazole ( 3 ), and N -[(difluoroamino)dinitromethyl]-3,5-dinitropyrazole ( 4 ), have been studied. It has been found that the stability of N -trinitromethyl azoles is relatively higher than stability of similar C-trinitromethyl heterocycles. Replacing one nitro group in the trinitromethyl moiety with fluorine or difluoroamine group changes the C–NO 2 bond length and the thermal stability. However, there is no linear correlation between the rate constants and the C–NO 2 bond length, which indicates the presence of other factors affecting the stability of trinitro- and substituted dinitromethyl derivatives. The burning rates of the nitropyrazoles varied from 26.8 mm s −1 (for 1 ) to 77.5 mm s −1 (for 4 ) at 10 MPa. An analysis of thermocouple data shows that the burning rate of nitropyrazoles 1 , 2 , and 4 depends on the rate of heat release in the condensed phase. The increased stability of the fluorodinitromethyl compound 3 causes a decrease in the depth of its decomposition in the melt and shifts the leading reaction of its combustion into the gas phase. Graphical Abstract Two-stage decomposition is stipulated by different thermal stabilities of the substituent and the dinitropyrazole fragment
