An Overview on the Synthesis Methods, Physical and Energetic Properties of Some Azo-linked High Energetic Heterocycles
In this study, the recent developments in the synthesis of some azo- linked high- nitrogen energetic heterocycles such as tetrazole, triazole, imidazole, pyrazole, triazine, tetrazine and their salts will be investigated. These energetic compounds generally exhibit desirable properties and performance, which in some cases are superior to the conventional energetic materials such as hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 1,3,5-trinamino-2,4,6- trinitrobenzene (TATB).
