Employing Nitrogen–Sulfur Synergy: 1,2,3-Triazole-Thiadiazole-Based Energetic Materials
In this study, we synthesized energetic materials integrating thiadiazole and triazole moieties. The newly developed compounds were thoroughly characterized using NMR, IR, elemental analysis, TGA-DSC, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (for compound <b>3</b>). These compounds exhibited acceptable properties, including high densities (1.88-1.92 g cm<sup>-3</sup>), moderate to good detonation performance (VOD: 6383-8128 m s<sup>-1</sup>), good thermal stability (143-238 °C), and less sensitivity to impact (>15 J) and friction (360 N). Notably, compounds <b>4</b> and <b>8</b> achieved superior detonation velocities compared to nearly all reported sulfur-based energetic materials to date. This work highlights the significance of triazole-thiadiazole frameworks in the development and fine-tuning of energetic materials.
