- Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of explosive coordination complexes of CuII with nitrogen-rich tetrazine ligands and nitrate counter-anions have been achieved. The complexes adopt a variety of coordination geometries including monomeric and dimeric architectures with five and six coordinate CuII centers. The thermal stabilities of the complexes correlate to the strength of the Cu-nitrate interaction such that more strongly bound nitrates exhibit higher thermal stability. Exchanging amine groups on the coordinating ligands with 3,3'-dinitroazetidine groups led to changes in the solid-state structures and increases to the impact sensitivity of the resulting complexes relative to the corresponding amine derivatives.
