Relationship between Electric Spark Sensitivity of Cyclic Nitramines and Their Molecular Electronic Properties

On the basis of the structural and electronic properties of 14 different cyclic nitramine molecules, two types of formulas are employed to predict their electric spark sensitivity. One contains the minimum Mulliken charges of nitro group, the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen, and the ratio of carbon to oxygen; the other contains the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy, the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen, and the ratio of carbon to oxygen. Using these two types of formulas, we calculate the electric spark sensitivity of these 14 cyclic nitramine molecules, and compare them with the experimental data and previous theoretical values. And our investigations show that the former type of formula is better than the latter on predicting the electric spark sensitivity for cyclic nitramine molecules.

Thermal decomposition of PTFE in the presence of silicon,calcium silicide,ferrosilicon and iron

Simultaneous TG/DTA has been used to study the thermal decomposition of binary compositions containing polytetrafluoroethene (PTFE) with silicon (Si), calcium silicide (CaSi₂), ferrosilicon (FeSi) or iron (Fe) powders. In nitrogen and under dynamic heating program the thermal decomposition of Si/PTFE and CaSi₂/PTFE is an exothermic process. The other two compositions decompose endothermically. In each case the decomposition reactions show first-order kinetics but only iron does not change considerably the kinetics of PTFE depolymerization. The constants of the decomposition rate at 850 K for silicon containing reducers are about four times higher than those of PTFE and Fe/PTFE.

Thermal decomposition of cadmium succinate dihydrate

Thermal decomposition of cadmium succinate dihydrate, CdC₄H₄O₄·2H₂O, was studied in dynamic helium and air atmospheres by means of simultaneous TG, DTA and MS analysis. It was found that dehydration of CdC₄H₄O₄·2H₂O takes place in the temperature range 80–165°C and at low heating rates formation of monohydrate was stated. The anhydrous cadmium succinate decomposes at about 350°C to metallic cadmium. The gaseous products of cadmium succinate decomposition are CO₂ and H₂O. Formation of small amounts of 3-phenylpropanal and 1,7-octadiene during decomposition in helium was revealed. In helium cadmium evaporates at the temperature of decomposition and the residue consists of small amount of elementary carbon formed in result of pyrolysis of succinate groups. In air cadmium oxidizes and the final solid product of decomposition is CdO.     

Thermal Decomposition of Strontium and Barium Malonates

The thermal decomposition of strontium and barium malonates has been studied isothermally and non-isothermally employing simultaneous TG-DTG-DTA, DSC, XRD and IR spectroscopic techniques. DSC of these malonates has been recorded both in oxygen and nitrogen atmospheres. The decomposition is a single step process and the end product formed is carbonate. The energy of activation and frequency factor values for the decomposition of strontium malonate are 547 kJ mol⁻¹ and 10⁴¹ s⁻¹ respectively. The activation energy and frequency factor values for isothermal dehydration of barium malonate sester-hydrate are 57–111 kJ mol⁻¹ and 10⁷–10¹² s⁻¹ respectively and the corresponding values for decomposition from DSC are 499.5 kJ mol⁻¹ and 10⁴⁴ s⁻¹ respectively. The higher thermal stability of strontium malonate as compared to that of barium salt is ascribed to its being anhydrous so that decomposition proceeds without restructuring. Their thermal stabilities have also been compared with that of respective oxalate salts. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermal Stability of Robust Unsymmetrical Copperporphyrins with Multiple Diphenylamino and Nitro Substituents

The syntheses and thermal stability properties of a series of amino and nitro substituted copperporphyrins are described. The thermal decomposition temperatures of the porphyrins were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The on-set thermal decomposition temperatures of the unsymmetrical porphyrins were found to be high in the range of 350 – 405 °C (DSC), 374 – 441 (TGA in air), 395 – 411 °C (TGA under nitrogen atmosphere), and 410 – 424 °C (DTA in air). Substituent dependent thermal stability trends were also studied. The trend is variable depending on the thermal analysis technique utilized. Possible reasons for such variation are discussed. These porphyrins are thermally robust even in the melamine-based sol-gel matrix. Containing 20% by weight of the substituted unsymmetrical copperporphyrin, melamine-based sol-gel showed no indication of decomposition until ?400 °C.

Thermal Decomposition and Dehydration Kinetics of Tetra(piperidinium) Octamolybdate Tetrahydrate in Air

Thermal decomposition of tetra(piperidinium) octamolybdate tetrahydrate, [C₅H₁₀NH₂]₄[Mo₈O₂₆]·4H₂O, was investigated in air by means of TG‐DTG/DTA, DSC, TG‐IR and SEM.

The thermal stabilities of the complexes have been compared with that of alkali tris(oxalato)ferrates(III).     

Relationship between Activation Energy of Thermolysis and Friction Sensitivity of Cyclic and Acyclic Nitramines

The knowledge of sensitiveness of an energetic compound to friction stimuli is important to ensure the safety of people and protection of property during shipment. The information on sensitivity to friction is considered very valuable for nitramines, which show relatively higher sensitivity with respect to the other classes of secondary explosives. This study presents a novel general simple model for prediction of the relationship between friction sensitivity and activation energy of thermolysis of cyclic and acyclic nitramines on the basis of their molecular structures. This methodology assumes that friction sensitivity of an energetic compound with general formula C_aH_bN_cO_d can be expressed as a function of activation energy of thermolysis and the contribution of specific molecular structural parameters. For 21 nitramines with different molecular structures, the new correlation has the root mean square and the average standard deviations of 14.2 and 17.8 N, respectively, as compared to experimental values. The proposed new method is also tested for further 8 nitramines containing complex molecular structures, which gives good predictions.

Combined DTA and XRD Study of Sintering Steps Towards YAl3(BO3)4

Sintering processes in the Y₂O₃–Al₂O₃–B₂ O₃ system and its subsystems (Y₂O₃–B₂O₃ and Al₂ O₃–B₂O₃) have been investigated by using combined DTA and XRD measurements to get a better understanding of solid state chemical changes resulting in the formation of yttrium aluminum borate (YAl₃(BO₃)₄, YAB) phase and to study the possible role and contribution of various simple borates formed also in the former processes. Two new exothermic heat effects of YBO₃ formation have been detected by DTA in the Y₂O₃–B₂O₃ system between 720 and 980°C. In the Al₂O₃–B₂O₃ system a new experimental XRD profile of Al₄B₂O₉ was observed. Formation of these borates seems to promote the nucleation of double borate YAB below 1000°C. Conversion of Al₄B₂O₉ to Al₁₈B₄ O₃₃ was observed after a long term (10 h) sintering at 1050°C. Similarly, an increased formation of YAB has been observed as a product of the sintering reaction between YBO₃ and Al₁₈B₄O₃₃ at 1150°C. The two latter single borates are found to be identical with the high temperature decomposition products of YAB.
