Synthesis, crystal structure, and characterization of energetic complex Pb(ATZ)(phen)₂ · 3H₂O

Abstract

A new energetic complex, Pb(ATZ)(phen)2·3H2O (1) (ATZ = 5,5′-azotetrazolate), was synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal data: monoclinic, P2(1)/n space group, a = 8.4545(1) Å, b = 25.846(2)Å, c = 13.096(2)Å, and β = 102.873(2)°. In addition, elemental analysis, IR, and thermogravimetric analysis are presented. Furthermore, the complex was also explored as an additive to promote thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate.
