One-Step Realization of Skeleton Editing, -Dinitromethyl Functionalization, and Zwitterionization in a Laser-Sensitive 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Energetic Molecule.

The single-atom skeletal editing technology is an efficient method for constructing molecular skeletons, which has broad coverage in synthetic chemistry. However, its potential in the preparation of energetic heterocyclic molecules is grossly underexplored. In this work, an unexpected one-step reaction for the synthesis of novel energetic molecules was discovered which combines single-atom skeletal editing, -dinitromethyl functionalization, and zwitterionization in one step.

Approaching the Thermostability Limit of Nitrogen-Rich Heterocyclic Perchlorate-Based Energetic Materials.

In recent years, driven by ever-increasing application of energetic materials in deep-seated mineral resource exploitation and aerospace engineering, the mining of advanced safe energetic materials with significant thermal stability has drawn widespread publicity. Here, a tricyclic bridged energetic compound 2-amino-4,6-bis(3,5-diamino-4-nitropyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine () was prepared using simple synthetic route. Furthermore, an interesting highly thermostable nitrogen-rich perchlorate, , was prepared by the self-assembly reaction of and HClO, displaying a thermal decomposition peak temperature of 375.
