Accurate prediction of the toxicity of benzoic acid compounds in mice via oral without using any computer codes.

Most of benzoic acid derivatives are toxic, which may cause serious public health and environmental problems. Two novel simple and reliable models are introduced for desk calculations of the toxicity of benzoic acid compounds in mice via oral LD(50) with more reliance on their answers as one could attach to the more complex outputs. They require only elemental composition and molecular fragments without using any computer codes.

A simple approach for predicting impact sensitivity of polynitroheteroarenes.

A new method has been introduced to predict impact sensitivity of different types of polynitroheteroarenes which can include nitropyridine, nitroimidazole, nitropyrazole, nitrofurazane, nitrooxadiazole, nitro-1,2,4-triazole, nitro-1,2,3-trazole and nitropyrimidine explosives. The model is based on the number of carbons and hydrogens as well as specific structural parameters that can increase or decrease impact sensitivity. The new method has been applied to 67 polynitroheteroarenes which have different structural parameters.

Predicting activation energy of thermolysis of polynitro arenes through molecular structure.

The paper presents a new method for activation energy or the Arrhenius parameter E(a) of the thermolysis in the condensed state for different polynitro arenes as an important class of energetic molecules. The methodology assumes that E(a) of a polynitro arene with general formula C(a)H(b)N(c)O(d) can be expressed as a function of optimized elemental composition as well as the contribution of specific molecular structural parameters. The new method can predict E(a) of the thermolysis under conditions of Soviet Manometric Method (SMM), which can be related to the other convenient methods.
