3,6-Bis(1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-yl-amino)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine–based energetic strontium(II) complexes: synthesis, crystal structure, and thermal properties

Abstract

Two energetic strontium(II) complexes with nitrogen-rich 3,6-bis(1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-yl-amino)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (BTATz) were synthesized. The metal complexes were characterized by IR, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. DSC and TG-DTG were used to study the thermal behavior, non-isothermal decomposition reaction kinetics, self-accelerating decomposition temperature (T SADT), thermal ignition temperature (T TIT), critical temperature of thermal explosion (T b), and the adiabatic time-to-explosion (t TIad). The data indicate competitive energetic materials.
