Title: Comprehensive End-to-End Design of Novel High Energy Density Materials: I. Synthesis and Characterization of Oxadiazole Based Heterocycles

Abstract

A methodology to design novel energetic materials by means of a holistic approach that links synthesis, experimental characterization, quantum-chemical modeling, and statistical empirical evaluation is proposed. An analysis of the revealed structure–property–function correlations in the LLM compound series (oxadiazole-based heterocyclic energetics), BNFF, BNFF-1, LLM-172, LLM-191, and LLM-192, led us to predict, obtain, and characterize a new member in the materials family, LLM-200, which exhibits attractive energetic characteristics compared to known conventional high energy density materials. Finally, while the applied strategy convincingly demonstrated feasibility of the end-to-end design of high energy density materials, there are certain limitations in parallel improvements of sensitivity and performance within a single compound.

Synthesis and characterization of multicyclic oxadiazoles and 1-hydroxytetrazoles as energetic materials

Journal Article Pagoria, Philip F. ; Zhang, Mao-Xi ; Zuckerman, Nathaniel B. ; ... - Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds

Synthesis and characterization of several multicyclic oxadiazoles, 3,5-bis(4-nitrofurazan-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole, 3,3'-bis(4-nitrofurazan-3-yl)-5,5'-bi(1,2,4-oxadiazole), 3-(4-nitrofurazan-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-amine, and salts of 1-hydroxytetrazoles, ammonium 5,5'-(1,2,4-oxadiazole-3,5-diyl)bis(1H-tetrazol-1-olate) and hydroxylammonium 5,5'-{[3,3'-bi(1,2,4-oxadiazole)]-5,5'-diyl}bis(1H-tetrazol-1-olate), as energetic materials are reported here. Two of the compounds, 3,5-bis(4-nitrofurazan-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole and 3,3'-bis(4-nitrofurazan-3-yl)-5,5'-bi(1,2,4-oxadiazole), have attractive single crystal densities of 1.91 and 1.94 g·cm ^–3 (at 20°C), respectively. The design of these materials has been based on the idea that these multicyclic compounds with a 1,2,4-oxadiazole core will have good thermal stability and high density because of their 3,5-substitution pattern and the possibility of achieving a planar conformation. The various synthetic approaches and interesting chemistry observed during the construction of these newmore » heterocycles has been described.« less

Synthesis of Amino- and Nitro-Substituted Heterocycles as Insensitive Energetic Materials

Conference Pagoria, P F ; Lee, G S ; Mitchell, A R ; ...

In this paper we will describe the synthesis of several amino- and nitro-substituted heterocycles, examples from a continuing research project targeted at the synthesis of new, insensitive energetic materials that possess at least 80% the power of HMX (28% more power than TATB). Recently we reported the synthesis and scale-up of the insensitive energetic material, 2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyrazine-1-oxide (LLM-105). The energy content (81% the power of HMX) and thermal stability of LLM-105 make it a viable candidate material for insensitive boosters and deep oil perforation. We will report on recent synthetic improvements and several performance and safety tests performed on LLM-105, includingmore »« less

Comprehensive End-To-End Design of Novel High Energy Density Materials: III. Fused Heterocyclic Energetic Compounds

Journal Article Tsyshevsky, Roman ; Smirnov, Aleksandr S. ; Kuklja, Maija M. - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

In contrast to synthesis and experimental characterization that are usually expensive and time-consuming, a coupled combination of ab initio and group additive theoretical methods represents a powerful alternative to computationally design and characterize new materials with targeted properties. Heterocyclic energetic materials are considered attractive candidates to replace conventional high explosives, such as PETN, RDX, HMX, and TNT. Heterocycles enable an intriguing opportunity for combinatorial design of new classes of energetic materials with targeted performance and sensitivity properties and offer ways for an accurate analysis of structure–property correlations of the materials. By using a computational strategy that links methods of quantummore »« less

Comprehensive End-to-End Design of Novel High Energy Density Materials: II. Computational Modeling and Predictions

Journal Article Tsyshevsky, Roman ; Pagoria, Philip ; Smirnov, Aleksandr S. ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

In this work, we have proposed a holistic approach to design novel energetic materials by bridging synthesis, experimental characterization, computational modeling, and validation. Multiscale computational modeling that combines first-principles calculations, analytical theory, and empirical statistical analysis served to further advance the proposed methodology. The established materials design guiding principles led to development of a set of new energetic molecules, PHE-1, PHE-2, and PHE-3, that represent improved variations of the heterocyclic energetics and are predicted to be superior to the existing conventional energetic materials. Molecular mechanisms of the enhanced performance and sensitivity of the proposed energetic materials as a function ofmore »« less

Direct Functionalization of Nitrogen Heterocycles via Rh-Catalyzed C-H Bond Activation

Journal Article Lewis, Jared ; Bergman, Robert ; Ellman, Jonathan - Accounts of Chemical Research

Nitrogen heterocycles are present in many compounds of enormous practical importance, ranging from pharmaceutical agents and biological probes to electroactive materials. Direct funtionalization of nitrogen heterocycles through C-H bond activation constitutes a powerful means of regioselectively introducing a variety of substituents with diverse functional groups onto the heterocycle scaffold. Working together, our two groups have developed a family of Rh-catalyzed heterocycle alkylation and arylation reactions that are notable for their high level of functional-group compatibility. This Account describes their work in this area, emphasizing the relevant mechanistic insights that enabled synthetic advances and distinguished the resulting transformations from other methods.more »« less
