Synthesis and properties of polynitrophenyltetrazolatocobalt(III) complexes
The explosive 3,5-dinitrophenyltetrazolato complex (3,5-DNP) tends to propagate in the deflagration mode which suggests its use as a pressure cartridge charge. However, the existence of 3,5-DNP as a hydrate appears to result in variations of thermomechanical properties thus rendering it undesirable for component use. The 2,4-DNP and 2,4,6-TNP analogs were synthesized. These exist in the anhydrous form under normal conditions and underwent DDT in component configuration. This negated their use in pressure cartridge applications. Synthetic procedures have been developed for 5-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)tetrazole and 5-picryltetrazole as well as for the precursor 2,4-dinitro- and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzonitriles. 6 refs.
