Abstract
. Detailed computational insight into the energetic properties of the new compounds shows that they have good energetic properties (propulsive and ballistic) with excellent thermal and mechanical stabilities which makes them promising candidates for solid propulsion systems. Compounds 5, 12 and 14 are the superior candidates as melt-castable energetic materials.
