Structure-Sensitivity Relationships in Energetic Compounds

摘要: Considerable progress has been made in understanding factors influencing the sensitivities of energetic molecules to outside stimuli such as shock, impact and heat. In this chapter, we discuss correlations between molecular properties impact/shock sensitivity also special cases that do not follow relationships. For nitramines nitroaliphatics, taken separately, have shown strengths all N-NO2 linkages these systems, conjunction with overall size, are important determining their shock sensitivities. nitroaromatics (excluding hydroxy derivatives) found a relationship electrostatic potential at midpoint C-NO2 bond, approximated by atomic charges. We suggest high hydroxynitroaromatics may be due formation small quantities unstable nitronic acid tautomers.
