TL;DR: The safe preparation and characterization of a new explosive dihydroxylammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate (TKX-50) that outperforms all other commonly used explosive materials is detailed in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a large variety of nitrogen-rich salts of 1 such as diammonium, dihydrazinium, the bis-guanidinium (4), the bis(aminoguanidiniam) (5), the diaminoguanideinium salt monohydrate (6), the triaminoguanaidINium salt, the 5-aminotetrazolium (13), the 1-amino-1-methyl-1H-tetrazorium) salt (14), and the 1,5-diam

TL;DR: Several propulsion and detonation parameters were computed by using the EXPLO5 computer code based on calculated heats of formation and X-ray densities and the performance of 1-8 in various formulations was investigated by calculating the specific energy and specific impulse of the compounds under isochoric conditions.

TL;DR: The solid-state structures of the chloride and less sensitive hydrogen sulfate were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in an effort to provide some insight into the different properties of the materials.

TL;DR: Several detonation parameters such as the detonation pressure, velocity, energy, and temperature were computed using the EXPLO5 code and the sensitivities toward impact, friction, and electrical discharge were tested using the BAM drop hammer, BAM friction tester, as well as a small scale electrical discharge device.
