Abstract
DFT calculations at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level have been carried out to explore the structure, stability, electron density, heat of formation, detonation velocity and detonation pressure of substituted amino- and nitroso-1,2,4-triazol-5-one-N-oxides. Heats of formation of substituted triazol-5-one-N-oxides have been computed at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level via isodesmic reaction procedure. Materials Studio 4.1 package was used to predict the crystal density of model compounds. Kamlet-Jacob equations were used to calculate detonation properties based on the calculated heat of explosion and crystal density. The designed compounds 4, 6, 7 and 8 have shown higher performance compared with those of 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane and octanitrocubane. Atoms-in-molecule (AIM) analyses have also been carried out to understand the nature of intramolecular interactions in the designed molecules.
