Bis(dinitropyrazolyl)methanes spruced up with hydroxyl groups: high performance energetic salts with reduced sensitivity

Abstract

dicationic salt formation, which is not feasible in any other reported symmetrically connected pyrazole-based energetic materials, resulted in improved physical and thermal stabilities, as well as energetic performance. Hirshfeld surface analysis, electrostatic potential analysis, the study of aromaticity and weakest Mayer-bond order analysis helped further in studying the structure-property relationship of the synthesized compounds with respect to different reported methylene-bridged symmetrical compounds.
