Abstract:

A series of guanidine salts of 4,4'-azo-1,2,4-triazol-5-one with guanidine(1), aminoguanidine(2), diaminoguanidine(3) and triaminoguanidine(4) was prepared. Compounds 2-4 were characterized by infrared(IR) spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Thermal decomposition processes of compounds 1-4 were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), and all the compounds showed good thermal stability up to 190℃. Moreover, these four guanidine salts are more unstable with the increasing number of amino groups. Thermal stability parameters(Te,0 and Tb) and thermodynamic functions(ΔS, ΔH and ΔG) for compounds 1-4 were calculated. The constant-volume combustion heats(ΔcU) for compounds 2-4 were determined and tended to increase with the increase of the number of amino groups. The calculated standard molar enthalpies of formation(ΔfH0m) of compounds 2-4 are -541.04, -178.67 and -83.08 kJ/mol, respectively. The impact sensitivities results indicate that these four energetic salts are less sensitive than 1,3,5-trinitrotriazacyccohexane(RDX) and 1,3,5,7-tetranitrotetraqza-cyclo-octane(HMX).
