摘要
To further test whether polynitriprismanes are capable of being potential high energy density materials (HEDMs), extensive theoretical calculations were carried out to investigate on a series of polynitrotriprismanes (PNNPs): C6H6-.(NO2). (n=1-6) Heats of formation (HOFs), strain energies (SE), and disproportionation energy (DE) were obtained using B3LYP/6-311+G(2df, 2p)//B3LYP/6-31G* method by designing different isodesmic reactions, respectively. Detonation properties of PNNPs were obtained by the well-known KAMLET-JACOBS equations, using the predicted densities (p) obtained by Monte Carlo method and HOFs. It is found that they increase as the number of nitro groups n varies from 1 to 6, and PNNPs with n〉4 have excellent detonation properties The relative stability and the pyrolysis mechanism of PNNPs were evaluated by the calculated bond dissociation energy (BDE). The comparison of BDE suggests that rupturing the C--C bond is the trigger for thermolysis of PNNPs. The computed BDE for cleavage of C--C bond (88.5 kJ/mol) further demonstrates that only the hexa-nitrotriprismane can be considered to be the target of HEDMs.
