The safe preparation and characterization (XRD, NMR and vibrational spectroscopy, DSC, mass spectrometry, sensitivities) of a new explosive dihydroxylammonium 5,5â²-bistetrazole-1,1â²-diolate (TKX-50) that outperforms all other commonly used explosive materials is detailed. While much publicized high-performing explosives, such as octanitrocubane and CL-20, have been at the forefront of public awareness, this compound differs in that it is simple and cheap to prepare from commonly available chemicals. TKX-50 expands upon the newly exploited field of tetrazole oxide chemistry to produce a material that not only is easily prepared and exceedingly powerful, but also possesses the required thermal insensitivity, low toxicity, and safety of handling to replace the most commonly used military explosive, RDX (1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane). In addition, the crystal structures of the intermediates 5,5â²-bistetrazole-1,1â²-diol dihydrate, 5,5â²-bistetrazole-1,1â²-diol dimethanolate and dimethylammonium 5,5â²-bistetrazole-1,1â²-diolate were determined and presented.
详细介绍了一种新型爆炸物 5,5â²-双四唑-1,1â²-二酸二羟基铵(TKX-50)的安全制备和特征描述(XRD、NMR 和振动光谱、DSC、质谱、灵敏度),其性能优于所有其他常用爆炸材料。八硝基二氧杂环丁烷和 CL-20 等高性能爆炸物一直是公众关注的焦点,而这种化合物的不同之处在于,它可以用常见的化学品进行简单而廉价的制备。TKX-50 拓展了新开发的氧化四氮唑化学领域,生产出一种不仅易于制备、威力巨大,而且具有所需的热不敏感性、低毒性和操作安全性的材料,可取代最常用的军用炸药 RDX(1,3,5-三硝基-1,3,5-三氮杂环己烷)。此外,还测定并展示了中间体 5,5â²-双四唑-1,1â²-二醇二水合物、5,5â²-双四唑-1,1â²-二醇二甲酸酯和 5,5â²-双四唑-1,1â²-二酸二甲铵的晶体结构。
