Abstract
In recent years, the application of high-nitrogen containing azine energy materials has been one of the hot spots in the field of energy materials in China and elsewhere. This paper reviews domestic and foreign studies into high-nitrogen azine energetic materials. The synthetic methods, structural and theoretical analysis, physical and chemical properties, sensitivity properties, thermal properties and detonation properties of some typical pyrazine energetic compounds are summarised, including: 2,6-diamino-3,5dinitropyrazine-1-oxide (LLM-105) of diazines, 4,4′,6,6′-tetra(azido)azo-1,3,5-triazine (TAAT) of triazines, 3,6-dihydrazino-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (DHT), 3,6-bis(1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-yl-amino)-1,2,4,5tetrazine (BTATz) and 3,3′-azobis(6-amino-1,2,4,5tetrazine) (DAAT) of tetrazine and their respective applications and potential value are described. The results of published studies reviewed here show that the application of azine energetic compounds in propellants can effectively improve the burning rate and reduce the characteristic signal; the application of azine energetic compounds in mixed explosives can reduce the sensitivity and improve the detonation performance; the application of azine energetic compounds in gas generators can reduce the combustion temperature and increase the gas content. Therefore, this class of compounds has a broad application prospect in energetic materials.
