Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic energetic materials, and more particularly to a method for synthesizing a 1,1′-diamino-5,5′-bitetrazole metal complex. Background Technology

[0002] Energetic compounds are important materials in the field of national defense and security. Generally speaking, the higher the nitrogen content in a material, the greater the energy released by the molecules during the reaction. Tetraazole compounds are aromatic planar cyclic structures with high positive heat of formation, good stability, and low sensitivity, making them a hot research topic in the field of high-nitrogen energetic materials. 1,1′-diamino-5,5′-bitetraazole (1,1′-DABT), formed by introducing amino groups at the 1 and 1′ positions of 5,5′-bitetraazole (H2BT), has an even higher nitrogen content, generating more heat and nitrogen during decomposition. Simultaneously, the introduction of the amino group weakens the acidity of the H2BT structure, making it neutral or weakly basic, reducing its corrosiveness to metal casings during storage, and enhancing its stability and water solubility.

[0003] Compared to the pure bitetrazole framework, introducing metal complexes into its structure further improves the properties of the compounds. Fischer et al. reacted sodium cyanide with sodium azide and manganese dioxide under acidic conditions to obtain manganese salts of H2BT, and prepared corresponding high-nitrogen energetic ionic salts such as guanidine, aminoguanidine, diaminoguanidine, triaminoguanidine, and carbazide salts. Among them, H2BT showed reduced salt sensitivity and belonged to high-energy insensitive energetic materials. In 2011, Thomas M. Klapötke reported the synthesis of alkaline earth metal complexes of H2BT in "Alkaline Earth Metal Salts of 5,5-Bistetrazole – from Academical Interest to Practical Application", 2011, 637, 1693–1701, and investigated the application of the complexes as coloring pyrotechnic components. In 2012, Thomas M. Klapötke reported the synthesis of copper complexes of H2BT in "Preparation and Crystal Structure of Diaqua(μ-5,5'-bistetrazolato-κ4N1,N2,N5,N6)copper(II)", 2012, 2, 958-966, and investigated its thermal stability and stability against impact, friction, and electric sparks. Patent CN105440070A, "1,1'-Dihydro-5,5'-Bistetrazole-Lead Coordination Polymer and its Preparation Method", disclosed the synthesis of lead coordination polymers of H2BT and investigated their thermal stability. In 2016, Tonglai Zhang, in "Synthesis, structure and characterization of neutral coordination polymers of 5,5'-bistetrazole with copper(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II): a new route to reconcile oxygen balance and nitrogen", reported the synthesis of lead coordination polymers of H2BT and investigated their thermal stability. The synthesis of copper, zinc, and cadmium coordination polymers of H2BT was reported in "Content of High-Energy MOFs", 2016, 45, 16779-16783, and it was pointed out that materials with different impact and friction sensitivities can be obtained by coordinating different metals.

[0004] The patent CN1761637A, titled "Gas Generator," discloses a method for generating a complex by co-complexing copper ions with tetrazolium and ethylenediamine, using amino groups as a strong complexing agent. The synthesis is shown below: Current research mainly focuses on the preparation of bitetrazole metal complexes. Only one example uses ethylenediamine as a coordination aid for complexation. The amino group in 1,1′-dihydroxy-5,5′-bitetrazole has a similar complexing effect to ethylenediamine. Using 1,1′-dihydroxy-5,5′-bitetrazole as a ligand can yield novel nitrogen-rich energetic complexes. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the above problems, this invention provides a method for synthesizing 1,1′-diamino-5,5′-bitetrazole metal complexes, specifically comprising the following steps: Step 1: Dissolve a certain amount of dioxycarbonyl-1,1′-diamino-5,5′-bistetrazole in a certain amount of solvent and heat to a certain temperature; Step 2: Dissolve the corresponding metal salt in water and add it to the solution obtained in Step 1; Step 3: Allow the solution obtained in Step 2 to stand and allow solids to precipitate. Step 4: Recrystallize the solid from Step 3 in water to obtain the 1,1′-diamino-5,5′-bitetrazolium metal complex.

[0006] Specifically, in step one, the solvent includes one or more of water, methanol, ethanol, acetone, acetonitrile, and dimethyl sulfoxide.

[0007] Specifically, in step one, the solvent is heated to a temperature of 50-100℃.

[0008] Specifically, the metal salts used in step two contain both main group metals and transition metals.

[0009] Specifically, in step three, the settling time for the solid to precipitate from the solution is 6-72 hours.

[0010] The invention offers the following advantages: The synthesis method of this invention is a direct reaction, employing a one-step synthesis: by directly reacting 1,1′-DABT with a metal salt in a solvent, the traditional ligand pretreatment step is eliminated, shortening the production cycle. No pretreatment is required. The selected reagents are free of high-risk reagents, ensuring safe operation. The solvents are universally applicable: common solvents such as water, methanol, and ethanol can be used, reducing raw material costs and operational complexity. The metal compatibility is broad, compatible with main group metals (such as magnesium and lead) and transition metals (such as copper, manganese, and cadmium), allowing for metal selection to control product properties. Recrystallization provides one-step purification, achieving a purity >95%. Detailed Implementation
