Hydroxylammonium pentazolate (NH 3 OHN 5 ) is regarded as a novel energetic material with outstanding performance, yet its practical application has been hindered by significant hygroscopicity and high sensitivity. To address these challenges, this study prepared a series of NH 3 OHN 5 -based energetic composite microspheres using a combined solution-suspension method and copper-alginate (CA) gel network strategy. Experimental results demonstrated that the composite microspheres maintained well-defined morphology and preserved the original crystal structure, while exhibiting significantly reduced hygroscopicity and mechanical sensitivity, with a minimum energy loss of only 2.30%. Among the suspension-coated samples, the fluororubber (F 2603 )-coated sample (F-QA) exhibited the optimal comprehensive performance, which is attributed to the superior chemical inertness and hydrophobicity of fluororubber. This translated to a 9.48% reduction in hygroscopicity and an impact sensitivity of 40 J. Among all samples, the copper alginate-coated sample (SA-3) demonstrated superior overall performance. It exhibited a uniform and well-defined spherical morphology, with a 14.28% reduction in hygroscopicity compared to the raw NH 3 OHN 5 at 25 °C and 70% relative humidity ( RH ). Additionally, its impact sensitivity (16 J) improved by 11 J compared to the raw NH 3 OHN 5 (5 J), while the friction sensitivity (144 N) rose by 102 N relative to the raw NH 3 OHN 5 (42 N). This work demonstrated that F 2603 and copper alginate are effective coating materials, providing excellent anti-hygroscopicity and reduced impact sensitivity, which promoted the application of NH 3 OHN 5 as a novel explosive in the field of energetic materials. A series of NH 3 OHN 5 -based energetic composite microspheres was prepared by a combined solution-suspension method and a copper-alginate (CA) gel network strategy. • Multiple hydroxylammonium pentazolate (NH 3 OHN 5 )-based composite energetic microspheres were successfully fabricated via a suspension coating method and copper alginate (CA) gel network. • The composite microspheres demonstrate reduced mechanical sensitivity and hygroscopicity, thereby achieving effective improvements in the safety and storage stability of NH 3 OHN 5 . • This study develops a versatile coating strategy that can be extended to other pentazolate-based energetic systems to facilitate performance optimization.

A mild and efficient way to form fused N→O moiety by in situ ring closure reaction was proposed and studied. Compared with other methods to synthesize fused N-oxides, the new strategy is much safer and easier. The obtained compound, 4-amino-7-nitro-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-d][1,2,3,5]tetrazine-2-N-oxide (NTTO), was isolated with good purity and fully characterized. NTTO has a high density of 1.841 g⋅cm−3 and a high decomposition temperature of 262 °C. Compared with the traditional high energy insensitive energetic compound FOX-7, NTTO shows a higher detonation velocity of 8907 m⋅s−1 and lower sensitivity (IS = 40 J, FS = 252 N), demonstrating a promising candidate as a high energy insensitive energetic material. Compared with the traditional ortho-C-amino/C-nitro structure, the formed 4-amino-1,2,3,5-tetrazine-2-oxide ring shows greater promise in designing energetic materials with high energy and low sensitivity.
提出并研究了一种温和高效的原位闭合反应生成N→O熔合基团的方法。与其他合成熔融n氧化物的方法相比，该方法更安全、更容易。分离得到的化合物4-氨基-7-硝基-[1,2,4]三唑[5,1-d][1,2,3,5]四氮-2- n -氧化物（NTTO）纯度高，并进行了完整的表征。NTTO的密度为1.841 g⋅cm−3，分解温度为262℃。与传统的高能不敏感能化合物FOX-7相比，NTTO的爆速高达8907 m·s−1，灵敏度较低（IS = 40 J, FS = 252 N），是一种很有前景的高能不敏感能材料。与传统的邻c -氨基/ c -硝基结构相比，形成的4-氨基-1,2,3,5-四氮-2-氧化物环在设计高能量低灵敏度的含能材料方面具有更大的前景。

Energetic materials are capable of storing vast amounts of chemical energy and releasing it over a very short period of time, leading to an irreplaceable usage in both military and civilian applications. From traditional nitro compounds to nitrogen-rich heterocyclic energetic compounds, a large number of high-performance energetic molecules have been synthesized. Recently, several promising strategies have been developed for the efficient synthesis, performances tuning, and properties prediction of energetic compounds, which are expected to reshape the field of energetic materials.

Using the methods of quantum chemistry and atom-atom potentials, the molecular and crystal structure of a number of nitromethanes and their salts was modeled. Their thermochemical characteristics were assessed. A comparison of the calculated values of the enthalpies of salt formation with experimental data known for some of the presented compounds indicates that the author's method (MICCM), based on modeling the structure of compounds of ionic form and their cocrystals, gives the most accurate values of the enthalpy of salt formation compared to other known calculation methods. As a result of the simulation, the structure was predicted and the enthalpies of previously unstudied salts were determined, as well as new, unknown polymorphic structures of neutral nitromethanes and their salts.

For energetic compounds with a specific composition, isomerism represents the significant factor influencing their physicochemical properties. It is therefore becoming increasingly important to gain an understanding of the influence of isomerism on property differences on energetic materials. Despite significant advancements in the field of energetic molecular isomerization, research has predominantly concentrated on positional isomerization of functional groups, with comparatively less emphasis placed on molecular skeleton isomerization. In this study, we examine two isomeric fused-ring energetic molecules, ICM-103 and NAPTO, which display markedly disparate properties, including thermal decomposition temperature and mechanical sensitivity, despite sharing identical functional groups and fundamental structural units. We employed static calculations to examine and elucidate how molecular skeleton isomerism causes the performance differences between ICM-103 and NAPTO from the perspectives of single molecular parameters, intermolecular interactions, and crystal packing. This work offers a valuable reference point for the design of energetic molecular structures and the analysis of the relationships between structure and activity.

Most energetic molecules can only form cations or anions, limiting the structural diversity and performance regulation. In this study, we have presented the interesting amphoteric feature of 3,5-diamino-6-hydroxy-2-oxide-4-nitropyrimidone (DHON), which can be transformed into both DHON− anion and DHON+ cation. The structures of the amphoteric salts were characterized by using single-crystal x-ray diffraction, and their energy (density, heat of formation, detonation velocity, and detonation pressure) and stability (thermal decomposition temperature, impact sensitivity, and friction sensitivity) were also carefully studied. Results indicate DHON− anionic salts exhibit very promising stabilities, much superior to DHON+ cationic salts. Especially, the hydroxylaminium salt exhibits an extremely high thermal decomposition temperature of 309 °C. The x-ray data and quantum calculations show that the DHON− anion has stronger conjugation and H-bonds than the DHON+ cation, thus leading to the higher stability.

Organic cage-like frameworks are important and versatile skeletons for developing prospective energetic compounds because of their high intrinsic density, symmetry, stability, and derivability. In this paper, a noradamantane-based energetic compound 3,7-dinitrato-9-nitro-9-azanoradamantane was synthesized from easily accessible compound 1,6-heptadien-4-ol via eight steps. Based on the X-ray diffraction analysis, it exhibits a good density of 1.678 g⋅cm−3. Thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests indicate that it has positive thermal stability since its decomposition temperature was found to be 134 °C, and the theoretical detonation velocity is calculated to be 7363 m⋅s−1. These results imply that noradamantane has the potential to be a prospective framework for developing high energy-density energetic compounds.

The safety of polynitro 1,2,3-triazole energetic materials is improved by introducing hydrogen-rich cation and N-amino group to strengthen the intermolecular hydrogen bond network. 2-Amino-4-nitro-5-dinitromethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole and its corresponding energetic salts were successfully prepared, and they exhibit excellent properties compared to 4-nitro-5-dinitromethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole compounds. Among them, Hydroxylaminium 2-amino-4-nitro-5-dinitromethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (7) showed the best detonation performances (Dv = 9389 m·s−1, p = 39.6 GPa), which are compatible with that of HMX (Dv = 9320 m·s−1, p = 39.5 GPa) and it also show acceptable sensitivities (IS = 7 J, FS = 80 N).
