Abstract
Density functional theory calculations were performed to study the effects of different substituents and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic rings on the heats of formation (HOFs), energetic properties, and thermal stability for a series of furoxan derivatives. The isodesmic reaction method was employed to calculate the HOFs of the derivatives using total energies obtained from electronic structure calculations. The detonation velocities and pressures were evaluated by using the semiempirical Kamlet–Jacobs equations, based on the theoretical densities and HOFs. The bond dissociation energies and bond orders for the weakest bonds were analyzed to investigate the thermal stability of the furoxan derivatives. These results provide basic information for the molecular design of novel high energy density materials.
