Abstract

We have reported the high-pressure behavior of hydrogen-bonded energetic material carbohydrazide (CON4H6, CHZ) via in situ Raman spectroscopy and angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction (ADXRD) in a diamond anvil cell with ∼15 GPa at room temperature. Significant changes in Raman spectra provide evidence for a pressure-induced structural phase transition in the range of ∼8 to 10.5 GPa. ADXRD experiments confirm this phase transition by symmetry transformation from P21/n to a possible space group P1, which exhibits ∼23.1% higher density at 10.1 GPa compared to phase P21/n at ambient pressure. Moreover, the observed transition is completely reversible when the pressure is totally released. On the basis of the decreased number of hydrogen bonds, the shortened hydrogen bond lengths, and the variations in the NH and NH2 stretching Raman peaks in the high-pressure phase, we propose that this phase transition is caused by the rearrangement of the hydrogen-bonded networks.
