Abstract
A scalable synthesis of azidomethyl bisoxadiazol linked-1,2,3-triazole-(ABT) based potential liquid propellant and energetic plasticizer is obtained from commercially available diaminomaleonitrile in excellent yield. Newly synthesized compounds were fully characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. These materials exhibit good densities (1.77 g cm−3) and high thermal stabilities (Td = 181 °C). Compound 5 has good detonation properties (5, P = 20.81 GPa, D = 7516 ms−1) and propulsive properties (Isp (neat) = 210 s). These are superior to TNT and GAP and comparable to BAMOD, making them potential green liquid rocket propellants and energetic plasticizers.
