Abstract

The new energetic material calcium 5-nitriminotetrazolate (1) is presented. A facile preparative route in combination with an outstanding thermal as well as long-term stability, easy initiation, and low sensitivity make 1 an auspicious green alternative filler in priming charges.

16. Synthesis starting with 2: To 5-nitriminotetrazole (2.60 g, 20.0 mmol) dissolved in 20 mL of water, calcium hydroxide (1.48 g, 20.0 mmol) was added and the suspension was heated to 80°C and filtered off. The product was directly recrystallized from water and the crystals filtered off and washed with ethanol/ether to give 4.01 g (15.6 mmol, 78%) of calcium nitriminotetrazolate pentahydrate.

17. Thermogravimetry was used to investigate the dehydration step and was performed using a Setaram TG-DTA 92–16 (http://www.setaram.com/) in a helium atmosphere with a heating rate of 1°C/min to a maximum temperature of 400°C. For the measurement, 4.521 mg of pulverized 1 in a “korund” pan was used .
