    Abstract:

    Bistetrazole has become a research focus in the field of energetic materials due to its 80% nitrogen content and excellent detonation performance. However, its poor stability seriously restricts practical engineering applications. In this work, 5,5''-bistetrazole diammonium salt was used as the starting material, and bromonitromethane was grafted onto the bistetrazole skeleton via nucleophilic substitution reaction. A novel nitromethyl-substituted bistetrazole energetic compound 1 with significantly improved stability, which can be potentially used in eutectic systems, was successfully synthesized. The structure of compound 1 was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(NMR), elemental analysis(EA), and infrared spectroscopy (IR). Its precise crystal structure was further determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction: the compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c, with cell parameter Z = 8 and crystal density 1.683 g·cm-3. Performance test results show that compound 1 exhibits an impact sensitivity of 15 J, friction sensitivity of 324 N, detonation velocity of 8325 m·s-1, and detonation pressure of 28.4 GPa, demonstrating superior overall performance compared to TNT (Dv = 6881 m·s-1p = 19.5 GPa, IS = 15 J, FS = 353 N).
