Azo1,3,4-oxadiazole as a novel building block to design high-performance energetic materials Qian Wang, Yanli Shao, Ming Lu*

School of Chemical Engineering, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210094, China.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the azo1,3,4-oxadiazole energetic fragment was first introduced into the energetic materials using a simple synthetic strategy, yielding two symmetrical covalent compounds 4 and 5. All new compounds (35) were well characterized by IR spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. As supported by DSC data, compounds 4 and 5 possess excellent decomposition temperatures as high as 248 °C and 278 °C, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, 278 °C ranks highest in all 1,3,4-oxadiazole-based energetic compounds. Their energetic performances were evaluated with EXPLO5. Both 4 and 5 show good detonation velocities (D) of 8409 m s-1 and 8800 m s-1, and detonation

Introduction Over the past few decades, benefiting from the efforts of synthetic and theoretical researchers, the development of energetic materials has been rapid.13

Several strategies, such as energetic salts and energetic cocrystals, are

However,

preparation of new covalent compounds is still the most fundamental area of research.

In general, combining various functional units with different backbones is one of the most significant methods to access novel energetic molecules.7-9 Furazan is an attractive energetic moiety owing to its high combined nitrogen and

Compounds A and B demonstrate relatively low decomposition temperatures of 80 °C and 100 °C, respectively. These greatly limit their practical application.

Synthesis

The synthetic pathway is shown in Scheme 2. Compounds 1 and 2 were synthesized according to the reported procedures.17 Nitro-based compound 3 was obtained by treating 1 with 50%hydrogen peroxide, 98%H2SO4, and Na2WO4. Through the oxidative coupling reaction of 2 and 3, tetracyclic compounds 4 and 5 were easily obtained. New energetic compounds 3-5 were air-stable and were generated in high yield (80-83%).

To acquire more structural information, new compounds 3-5 have been characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals were obtained through slow evaporation in related solutions (3 in ethyl acetate, 4-5 in ethanol). CCDC numbers of these crystals are 1851330-1851332 and details of crystallographic data are given in the Supporting Information.

Bicyclic compound 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 21/c with a calculated density of 1.780 g cm-3 at 173 K (Figure 1). All atoms of 3 is nearly coplanar, confirming by the dihedral angles of N3a-C1a-C2a-C4a (-5.39°) and C2a-C4a-C5a-O4a (178.60°). The bond lengths of C-N range from 1.291 to 1.453 Å. Additionally, there are five intermolecular hydrogen bonds between molecules (Figure 1b). All hydrogen atoms of the molecule are involved.

Tetracyclic compound 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space P 21/c with a moderate density of 1.768 g cm-3 at 296K (Figure 2a). Four oxadiazole rings are almost coplanar, which is evident from the C3-C4-C2-O1 (170.89°) and N3N3-C1-N1 (-178.38°). The nitro group twists out of the furazan plane with a high torsion angle C3-C4-N6-N7 (57.37°). Moreover, there are three pairs of hydrogen bonds were found in the packing system in hydrogen bonding.

Nitro-functionalized compound 5 crystallizes in the same space as 4 while exhibits a higher density of 1.825 g cm-3 at 296 K, resulting from its better molecular planarity (N6-C4-N4-N3 179.97°; N5-C1-N1-O1 179.69°) and more compact crystal packing (Figure 2b). The crystal packing of 4 features a crossing stacking, whereas 5 demonstrates a basic face-to-face stacking. Previous studies show that the face-to-face style has a higher density and is more stable to mechanical stimuli because of free interlayer sliding.20 Hence,

this guideline can also be used to explain their differences in mechanical sensitivity. In contrast to 4 (IS: 3 J, FS: 48 N), 5 (IS: 15 J, FS: 220 N) is less sensitive.

Meanwhile, the thermal stabilities of compounds 4-5 are comparable to some thermally stable oxadiazole- functionalized energetic compounds, such as compounds E (233 °C) and F (309 °C) (Scheme 3).21

Interestingly, comparing the two azo compounds, although 4 has extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions, the decomposition temperature of 5 is 30 °C more than that of 4. The single crystal data provides two possible explanations, trigger bond dissociation enthalpy (TBDE) and noncovalent interaction analysis (NCI).22-23 The TBDE of 4 is observed at 156.2 kJ/mol, much smaller than that in 5 (272.5 kJ/mol). However, both of them outperform RDX (152.8 kJ/mol), thereby their thermal performance is better than RDX (Td = 204 °C).

Electrostatic potential surfaces (ESP) analysis for 4 and 5 was employed here to better understand their bond stabilities. It is shown in Figure 3, in contrast to 4, compound 5 demonstrates lower maximum ESP values and more negative charge accumulation in the C-nitro bonds, thereby increasing the corresponding BDE, and consequently, enhancing the stability.

The densities of compounds 3-5 were measured by using single crystal densities and converted into the corresponding RT values using the equation (ρ298k=ρT/(1+av(298-T0)); av=1.5×10-4 K-1).24 The bicyclic compound 3 exhibits the lowest density at 1.747 g cm-3, while its coupling product 5 shows the highest density at 1.825 g cm-3, superior to the benchmark explosive RDX (1.800 g cm3).

noncovalent interaction and less compact crystal packing. However, it is still greater than its coupling substrate 2 (1.751 g cm-3).

Higher heats of formation always lead to better detonation performance. The enthalpies of 3-5 were calculated by using Gaussian09 program (more details in the Supporting Information).25 Due to the presence of high-energy N-N and N-O bonds, tetracyclic compounds 4 and 5 show remarkable positive enthalpies ranging from 1.86 kJ g-1 to 2.18 kJ g-1, much higher than those of RDX (0.32 kJ g-1). With calculated enthalpies and crystal densities in hand, their detonation performance (detonation velocity and detonation pressure) were determined by using EXPLO5.26 The detonation velocities fall in the range from 8102 to 8800 m s-1, while detonation pressures are from 26.9 to 35.1 Gpa.

The IS and FS of these materials were also measured to evaluate their safety.27 Bicyclic compound 3 shows excellent mechanical stability (IS: 35 J, FS: 360 N). Tetracyclic compound 4 is very sensitive (IS: 3 J, FS: 48 N), whereas 5 has an enhanced mechanical stability (IS: 15 J, FS: 220 N). These values of 5 are much higher than those of RDX (IS: 7 J, FS: 120 N), which further suggests its promising application potential.

Moreover, for energetic materials, π-π stacking is often present as C-O and O-C interactions, in that case, the value of 5 (12.4%) is twice that of 4 (5.1%). Another index about sensitivities is that the ratio of O-O interactions in

Conclusion

In conclusion, a comprehensive study of the chemistry of 1,3,4-oxadiazole was conducted. Incorporating azo1,3,4-oxadiazole with nitramino furazan and nitro

furazan,

led

to

two

covalent

compounds

4

and

5

which

showed

remarkable thermal stabilities. The structural details for 4 and 5 were further investigated by X-ray diffraction as well as TBDE, NCI, ESP and Hirshfeld surfaces analysis. Compound 4 is very sensitive (IS: 3 J, FS: 48 N) and features good detonation properties (D: 8409 m s-1, P: 29.3 GPa), while 5 possesses the lower mechanical sensitivity (IS: 15 J, FS: 220 N) and an enhanced detonation performance (D: 8800 m s-1, P: 35.1 GPa). These encouraging discoveries in the 1,3,4-oxadiazole chemistry are expected to provide a new strategy for the construction of thermal stable oxadiazolefunctionalized molecules.
