Nitro-substituted bishomocubanes: synthesis, characterization, and application as energetic materials.
Sohan Lal,Sundaram Rajkumar,Sundaram Rajkumar,Amit B. Tare,S. Reshmi,Arindrajit Chowdhury,Irishi N. N. Namboothiri +6 more
TL;DR: Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that NMBHC, NMyBHC, and DNTMBHC evaporated readily with activation energies of 58.8, 69.2, and 74.5 kJ mol(-1), respectively, while the density specific impulse, determined by using equilibrium thermodynamics, demonstrated an improvement of 75 s over standard hydrocarbons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sohan Lal,Lovely Mallick,Sundaram Rajkumar,Oommen P. Oommen,Oommen P. Oommen,S. Reshmi,Neeraj Kumbhakarna,Arindrajit Chowdhury,Irishi N. N. Namboothiri +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis, thermodynamic characterization, and energetic properties of three novel high-nitrogen bishomocubane-based compounds DADMBHC, DTetzBHC and DPTrizDMBHC are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical studies on the propulsive and explosive performance of strained polycyclic cage compounds
Lovely Mallick,Sohan Lal,S. Reshmi,Irishi N. N. Namboothiri,Arindrajit Chowdhury,Neeraj Kumbhakarna +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, ab initio molecular modelling calculations have been used for analysing 28 carbon-cage structures with the aim of identifying the best candidates for synthesis particularly for use in propellant compositions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Droplet combustion studies on two novel energetic propellants, an RP-1 surrogate fuel, and their blends
Anand Sankaranarayanan,Sohan Lal,Irishi N. N. Namboothiri,Reshmi Sasidharakurup,Arindrajit Chowdhury,Neeraj Kumbhakarna +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the performance of RP-1 surrogate fuel (RP-1-s), its constituents, and two novel energetic fuels (1,3-bishomocubane dimer (BHCD) and bis(nitratomethyl)-1-3-bi-mocubanes (DNMBHC) for rocket propulsion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cubane decomposition pathways – A comprehensive study
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed chemical kinetics mechanism for the decomposition of the high energy density compound cubane was developed, along with the computed rate parameters and thermodynamic data.
