2,4,6-tris[bis(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)amino]-1,3,5-triazine as a nitrogen-rich material

Abstract

Abstract: This paper describes the synthesis, characterization and energetic properties of tetrazole and triazine-based thermally stable, insensitive nitrogen-rich high energy density materials of N, N’, N”-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl) tris(N-cyanocyanamide) [1] and 2,4,6-tris[bis(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)amino]-1,3,5-triazine [2]. The compound 2 is the first example for compounds having six tetrazole units on a triazine ring. Graphical Abstract : Synopsis Synthesis, characterization and energetic properties of the molecule, N 2, N 2, N 4, N 4, N 6, N 6-hexa(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (2) having 79% nitrogen content with high HOF value is discussed. The high nitrogen content associated with high positive heat of formation of the compound 2 underline the structural importance of six tetrazole groups in a molecule.
