A new coordination compound based on 4-amino-3-(tetrazol-5-yl)-furazan (HAFT): preparation,crystal structure,and thermal properties

Abstract

The green nitrogen-rich coordination compound Cd(SCZ)₂(AFT)₂ (1) (AFT =4-amino-3-(5-tetrazolate)-furazan and SCZ?=?semicarbazide) was first synthesized and characterized by EA and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR). The single crystal was cultivated and determined with X-ray diffraction. It revealed that 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. A Cd²⁺ ion is coordinated by four N atoms and two O atoms to form a distorted octahedral structure. Among them, two nitrogen atoms are from the two AFT ions and the other four atoms are from two SCZ molecules. The thermal decomposition behavior of 1 was studied with DSC and TG-DTG methods. The apparent activation energy (E), thermal stability, and safety parameters (T_SADT, T_TIT, and T_b) were calculated for 1. Moreover, entropy of activation (ΔS^≠), enthalpy of activation (ΔH^≠), free energy of activation (ΔG^≠), specific heat capacity (C_p), and impact sensitivity were also discussed in detail.
