Abstract

Three new energetic compounds, nickel(II) 3,5-dinitro-2-pyridonate (Ni(2DNPO)2(H2O)4, 1), copper(II) 3,5-dinitro-4-pyridonate (Cu(4DNPO)2(H2O)4, 2) and cobalt(II) 3,5-dinitro-4-pyridone-N-hydroxylate ([Co(4DNPOH)2(H2O)4] · 2DMF, 3 · 2DMF), were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, TG-DSC and X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. Complexes 1 and 2 are similar in structure with the metal ion coordinated by oxygen donors of four water molecules on the equatorial position and two nitrogen donors of the pyridone rings of two ligands in the axial positions. The cobalt(II) complex 3 · 2DMF is a heavily distorted octahedral geometry. The Co(II) has equatorial positions defined by oxygens of four water molecules. Its axial positions are filled with two oxygen atoms of the pyridone-N-hydroxylate of two ligands. The TG-DSC results reveal that 1 is the most stable, with higher initial thermal decomposition temperature and enthalpy. Based on the thermoanalyses, the nickel compound is a promising candidate as a component in catalyzed RDX-CMDB propellants in comparison with our earlier lead(II) analogs.
