Abstract

Abstract The development of new ionic salt as green propellants is one of intense investigations to replace toxic N, N′‐dimethylhydrazine. A new energetic salt N, N′,N′′‐tri(propan‐2‐ylidene)methanetriamium dinitramide (NTAGDN) based on dinitramide was synthesized by reacting silver dinitramide with triaminoguanidinium chloride. The structure of this new energetic salt was confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, ultraviolet‐visible spectrophotometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. NTAGDN crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group R. Thermal decomposition was studied by differential scanning calorimetry, differential thermal analysis, and thermogravimetric tandem infrared spectrometry. Results indicated that NTAGDN exhibited excellent resistance to thermal decompositions of up to 470 K and incurred an 80.54 % mass loss between 450 and 523 K via exothermic decomposition. The kinetic parameters of NTAGDN thermal decomposition were also obtained from the differential thermal analysis data by Kissinger's method with Ea = 125.46 kJ·mol–1. Moreover, based on the Kamlet‐Jacobs formula, the detonation velocity and detonation pressure of NTAGDN were calculated as 6.3 km·s–1 and 15 GPa, respectively.
