Synthesis and thermochemistry of ammonium 2,4,5-trinitroimidazole
The nitrolysis of 2,4,5-triiodoimidazole and 1,2,4,5-tetraiodoimidazole to yield 2,4,5-trinitroimidazole has been studied. A maximum yield near 50% can be obtained from the nitrolysis of 2,4,5-triiodoimidazole with absolute nitric acid at 100/sup 0/C after 1 h; however, the product is unstable under these reaction conditions and is completely destroyed after 2 h. The decomposition kinetics of the ammonium salt of 2,4,5-trinitroimidazole and its critical temperature were determined. The critical temperature and a phase diagram were obtained for mixtures of the salt and ammonium nitrate.
