Energetic substances with layered crystal packing have been identified as the most promising next-generation high-energy materials (HEMs) due to their excellent insensitivity. The challenge, however, is how to design layered HEMs. In this study, a novel strategy called “acceptor–donor separation” was proposed to control the layer-by-layer stacking of energetic molecules through directional hydrogen boding: that is, a hydrogen bond donor and acceptor are located in different energetic segments and at least one of them has a conjugated planar structure, which will enable the energetic fragments to be infinitely extended in a two-dimensional plane to form a target layered structure. The experimental results showed that three exemplary substances designed by using this strategy possess the expected layered structures, which have been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, demonstrating the robustness of this strategy. Moreover, the three as-synthesized HEMs all exhibit excellent insensitivity (impact sensitivity IS > 40 J; friction sensitivity FS > 360 N), affording safety far beyond those of the most powerful HEMs in use today. Especially, the hydroxylammonium energetic salts possess good detonation performance (detonation velocity D = 8924 m s–1; detonation pressure P = 36.9 GPa) comparable to that of 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), one of the most powerful high explosives in use today.
具有层状晶体结构的高能物质因其卓越的不敏感性而被认为是最有前途的下一代高能材料(HEMs)。然而,如何设计层状高能材料是一项挑战。本研究提出了一种名为 "受体-供体分离 "的新策略,通过定向氢键来控制高能分子的逐层堆积:即氢键供体和受体位于不同的高能片段,且其中至少有一个具有共轭平面结构,从而使高能片段在二维平面上无限延伸,形成目标层状结构。实验结果表明,利用这一策略设计的三种示例物质具有预期的层状结构,并通过单晶 X 射线衍射得到了证实,证明了这一策略的稳健性。此外,这三种合成的 HEM 都具有出色的不敏感性(冲击敏感性 IS > 40 J;摩擦敏感性 FS > 360 N),其安全性远远超过了目前使用的最强 HEM。特别是羟基铵高能盐具有良好的起爆性能(起爆速度 D = 8924 m s-1;起爆压力 P = 36.9 GPa),可与目前使用的威力最大的烈性炸药之一 1,3,5-三硝基-1,3,5-三嗪(RDX)相媲美。
