Chemistry of Complex High-Nitrogen Materials

Matthew L Gettings, Purdue University

Abstract

This dissertation is a compilation of five manuscripts which were peer-reviewed and accepted for publication in several international scientific journals, including Zeitschrift für Anorganische und Allgemeine Chemie ZAAC (Germany), Chemistry-A European Journal (several European nations), Energetic Materials Frontiers (China), New Journal of Chemistry (U.K.), and Inorganic Chemistry(U.S.). The extensive research was achieved during the three year graduate research program as part of the Purdue Energetics Research Center (PERC).Chemistry of Complex High-Nitrogen Materialsbegins with a brief background on a few high explosive materials and their applications, followed by synthesis routes and characterization methods of energetic materials. Several new complex high-nitrogen materials where synthesized and presented in the following chapters. These novel energetics include several nitrilimines, triazoles, tetrazoles, methyl sydnone imines, azasydnones, and an annulated heterocycle. Their energetic properties are discussed and compared with other well-known explosive materials.
