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

Abstract

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 quantum chemistry and semiempirical statistical analysis, we designed, modeled, and characterized a series of novel linear and fused explosive compounds. Proposed materials with best combinations of performance and sensitivity parameters can be now considered as potential candidates for synthesis and experimental characterization.
