Thermal and combustion behavior of novel oxygen-rich energetic pyrazoles
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)dini...

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
