Abstract
1-(2-Nitroxyethylnitramino)-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (I-A), 1,3-bis(2-nitroxyethylnitramino)-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene
(II-A) and 1,3,5-tris(2-nitroxyethylnitramino)-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene
(III-A) have been prepared by condensing picryl chloride, styphnyl
chloride and 1,3,5-trichloro-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene with ethanol amine,
respectively, followed by nitration. These compounds have been characterized
by infrared spectrum (IR), the elemental analysis and 1H NMR. Further,
these compounds have been studied for their thermal and explosive
properties. The activation energy of thermal decomposition of these
compounds has also been determined using the Ozawa and the Kissinger
methods. The data on explosive properties indicate that the impact,
friction and velocity of detonation (VOD) increase with an increase
in the number of nitrate ester groups.
