Abstract
We have studied herein the effect of position and the number of -NO, -NO2, -NH2 and -CH3 groups on the structure, stability, impact sensitivity, density, thermodynamic and detonation properties of triazolones by performing density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level. The optimized structures, vibrational frequencies and thermodynamic values for triazolones have been obtained in their ground state. Kamlet-Jacob equations were used to calculate the detonation velocity and detonation pressure of model compounds. The detonation properties of NNTO (D 8.75 to 9.10 km/s, P 34.0 to 37.57 GPa), DNTO (D 8.80 to 9.05 km/s, P 35.55 to 38.27 GPa), ADNTO (D 9.01 to 9.42 km/s and P 37.81 to 41.10 GPa) and ANNTO (D 8.58 to 9.0 km/s, P 30.81 to 36.25 GPa) are compared with those of 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) (D 8.75 km/s, P 34.70 Gpa) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) (D 8.96 km/s, P 35.96 GPa). The designed compounds satisfy the criteria of high energy materials.
