Triazole energetic compound is a kind of interesting nitrogen-rich energetic materials owing to their unique characteristics, such as high nitrogen content, high positive enthalpy and strong power, and are extensively applied to the field of energetic materials, such as insensitive high explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics[1-2].Recently, there are many information about triazole energetic compounds in the available literature, for example, 1, 2, 4-triazole[3-11], 1, 2, 3-triazole[12-16] and their derivatives.However, triazole ionic salts have been paid much more attention owing to higher density and energy, better thermal stability than those of non-ionic salts.
Hydrazinium 3, 5-dinitroamino-1, 2, 4-triazole(HDNAT) is a new and unexplored triazole ionic salt compound(scheme 1) and exhibits excellent thermal stability(194-196 ℃), high nitrogen content(57.01%), high density(1.89 g·cm-3) and detonation velocity(9000 m·s-1 by 1.80 g·cm-3).HDNAT can be applied to the field of propellants and gas-forming agents, especially propellants in order to increase burning rate.
