Pushing the limits of energetic materials – the synthesis and characterization of dihydroxylammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate

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.
BookDOI

Chemistry of high-energy materials

TL;DR: In this article, the basic chemistry of high energy materials -primary and secondary explosives, propellants, rocket fuel and pyrotechnics -and their applications in both military and civil fields are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Green Pyrotechnics : A Chemists' Challenge

TL;DR: This Review summarizes the sources of pollution in current formulations and recent efforts toward "green" pyrotechnics.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study of dinitro-bis-1,2,4-triazole-1,1'-diol and derivatives: design of high-performance insensitive energetic materials by the introduction of N-oxides.

TL;DR: This simple and straightforward method of N-oxide introduction in triazole compounds using commercially available oxone improves the energetic properties and reveals a straightforward synthetic pathway toward novel energetic 1,2,4-triazole derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI

The application of infrared spectroscopy to probe the surface morphology of alumina-supported palladium catalysts.

TL;DR: It is anticipated that refinements linking the vibrational spectrum of a probe molecule with surface structure and accessible adsorption sites for such a versatile catalytic substrate provide a platform against which structure/reactivity relationships can be usefully developed.
