The trinitromethyl group is a highly oxidized group that is found as an active functionality in many high-energy-density materials. The most frequently used previous synthetic method for the introduction of the trinitromethyl group is the nitration of heterocyclic compounds containing an acetonyl/ethyl acetate/chloroxime group. Now a novel strategy for constructing a trinitromethyl group (5) nitration of an ethylene bridged compound, dipyrazolo[1,5-:5',1'-]pyrazine (2), is reported. In addition, the other two nitrated products (3 and 4) were obtained under different nitrating conditions. Compound 5 has excellent detonation performance ( = 9047 m s, = 35.6 GPa), and a low mechanical sensitivity ( = 10 J, = 216 N), with an especially attractive heat of detonation of 6921 kJ kg, which significantly exceeds that of the state-of-the-art explosive CL-20 (: 6162 kJ kg).

Zwitterionic energetic materials offer a unique combination of high performance and stability, yet their synthesis and stability enhancement remain key challenges. In this study, we report the synthesis of a highly stable (dinitromethyl-functionalized zwitterionic compound, 1-(amino(iminio)methyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)dinitromethanide (), with a thermal decomposition temperature of 215 °C, surpassing that of most previously reported energetic monocyclic zwitterions ( < 150 °C). This compound was synthesized via intramolecular cyclization of a trinitromethyl-functionalized hydrazone precursor.

Trinitromethyl and -amino groups were innovatively incorporated into the framework of 1,2,4-triazole, resulting in 1-amino-5-nitro-3-(trinitromethyl)-1,2,4-triazole (). Ammonium and hydrazinium salts of 1-amino-5-nitro-3-(dinitromethyl)-1,2,4-triazole were synthesized by acidification, extraction, and neutralization with bases from the potassium salt. All of the newly prepared energetic compounds were comprehensively characterized by using infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Two energetic isomers of chemically unstable 3,5-bis(dinitromethyl)-4-nitro-1-pyrazole (), namely, 4-methyl-3,5-dinitro-1-(trinitromethyl)-1-pyrazole () and 5-methyl-3,4-dinitro-1-(trinitromethyl)-1-pyrazole (), each containing five nitro groups and having the same chemical composition, exhibit major differences in their physiochemical properties. These include density, enthalpy of formation, temperature of decomposition, and sensitivity to impact and friction. Notably, both isomer and isomer demonstrate superior thermal stability compared to isomer , making them promising candidates as safer energetic materials.

Context: Explosive properties of novel potential high energy density materials of a series of 1,2-diazete-based molecules with trinitromethyl functional group were investigated computationally. All the sixty seven molecules were optimised to obtain their molecular geometries and electronic structures. Electrostatic potential analysis was also carried out in the determination of different parameters.
