Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of energetic materials technology, and in particular to an internal salt type high energy density insensitive explosive and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Current energetic materials generally cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of high energy and low sensitivity, which severely restricts the development of weaponry. The design and synthesis of novel high-energy-density insensitive explosives has become a core technical challenge that urgently needs to be overcome in the field of energetic materials.
[0003] In recent years, nitrogen-rich heterocyclic compounds have become a research hotspot in the field of energetic materials due to their unique molecular properties. Many high-energy compounds have been successfully constructed by introducing typical explosive groups such as nitro (-NO2) into the polynitrogen framework, but their safety performance remains limited. Fused-ring compounds possess advantages such as multi-ring coplanar configuration, a large π-π conjugated system, and high enthalpy of formation, which positively influence their energy density, sensitivity, and thermal stability. These characteristics can enable fused-ring energetic materials to overcome the performance bottleneck of "high energy, low sensitivity." Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the contradiction between high energy and low sensitivity in existing explosives, in order to meet the needs of modern weaponry development. Therefore, this invention provides an internal salt-type high-energy insensitive explosive and its preparation method. Using the previously reported 2,3,5,6-tetraamino-9-imino-bis(1,2,4-triazolo)1,3,5-triazine bromide (TCs-Br) as a substrate, this invention develops a low-cost synthetic method for an internal salt-type high-energy insensitive explosive and synthesizes a novel high-energy insensitive explosive, ZDTT, with excellent overall performance. This explosive has enormous application potential and value in the field of energetic materials.
[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] An internal salt type high-energy insensitive explosive, the structural formula of which is as follows:
[0007] .
[0008] In another aspect, this invention provides a method for preparing an internal salt-type high-energy insensitive explosive, which is carried out via the following synthetic route:
[0009] .
[0010] A further proposed method includes the following steps in the preparation process:
[0011] 2,3,5,6-Tetraamino-9-imino-bis(1,2,4-triazolo-1,3,5-triazine) bromide (TCs-Br) was added to a 20% wt H₂SO₄ aqueous solution and stirred continuously under ice bath conditions. Once the solution temperature was suitable, it was added to an aqueous NaNO₂ solution, maintaining a suitable reaction temperature during the dropwise addition. After the addition was complete, the solution was heated to 60°C and reacted for a sufficient time, resulting in the precipitation of a large amount of reddish-brown precipitate. This precipitate was then acidified to obtain a pale yellow precipitate, which is DNBTA.
[0012] DNBTA was added to an appropriate amount of organic solvent. First, Cs₂CO₃ was added for deprotonation, followed by BrCN for cyclization. The reaction was carried out under heating for a sufficient time. After the reaction was complete, a large amount of yellow precipitate precipitated. After filtration, the precipitate was washed with an appropriate amount of ice water and ethanol. The resulting solid was the cesium salt of ZDTT (ZDTT-Cs). ZDTT-Cs was acidified with sufficient trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) or concentrated sulfuric acid, then impurities were washed away with an organic solvent. After drying, the target product ZDTT was obtained.
[0013] A further embodiment is that the molar ratio of TCs-Br, H2SO4 and NaNO2 is 1 : (7~10) : (60~90).
[0014] A further embodiment involves maintaining the reaction temperature at 0-5°C during the mixing process of the 20%wt H2SO4 solution and the NaNO2 aqueous solution.
[0015] A further step is to heat the solution to 58-62°C after the addition is completed, and the reaction time is 4-6 hours.
[0016] A further embodiment is that the organic solvent includes one or more of ACN, DMF, and DMSO. Using an appropriate amount of organic solvent means that the organic solvent can completely dissolve DNBTA.
[0017] A further embodiment is that the molar ratio of DNBTA, Cs2CO3 and BrCN is 1 : (1~2) : (1~2).
[0018] A further embodiment is that the reaction temperature of DNBTA, Cs2CO3 and BrCN is 60~80℃.
[0019] A further embodiment involves reacting DNBTA, Cs2CO3, and BrCN under heating conditions for 1–2 hours.
[0020] In step (1), acidification involves adding acid to the mixture. This means that:
[0021] The reddish-brown precipitate obtained from each 0.5g~1g TCs-Br preparation should be acidified with at least 10ml of 20%wt H2SO4 aqueous solution;
[0022] In step (2), acidification of ZDTT-Cs using sufficient trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) or concentrated sulfuric acid means:
[0023] ZDTT-Cs prepared from 0.5g to 1g of DNBTA should be acidified with at least 20ml of TFA or concentrated sulfuric acid.
[0024] Internal salt type high-energy insensitive explosives are applied in the field of energetic materials.
[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0026] This invention discloses an internal salt-type high-energy insensitive explosive and its preparation method, which yields 9-amino-2,6-dinitro-bis[1,2,4]triazolo[1,3,5]triazine, i.e., ZDTT. Besides its advantages of high energy density and low sensitivity, ZDTT also boasts a simple manufacturing process. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that ZDTT possesses a unique internal salt-type fused-ring structure and is poorly soluble in water and common organic solvents. The measured density of ZDTT is as high as 1.881 g·cm³. -3 The detonation velocity is 8757 m / s. -1 It has an explosive pressure of 31.7 GPa, an initial thermal decomposition temperature of 330℃, a measured impact sensitivity greater than 40 J, and a friction sensitivity greater than 360 N, and has great application potential in the field of high energy density insensitive explosives.
