Abstract
4-Amino-3,5-dinitropyrazole (LLM-116, 1) undergoes trimerization to 4-diazo-3,5-bis(4-amino-3,5-dinitropyrazol-1-yl) pyrazole (LLM-226) upon heating. A mechanism is proposed and discussed. LLM-226 is a new diazo-based energetic material, thermally stable, and insensitive to impact, friction, and spark. The material may be prepared by heating 1 and 4-diazo-3,5-dinitropyrazole (2) in a mixture of toluene and butyl acetate at 110 degrees C or heating 1 alone in dichlorobenzene at 160 degrees C. The characterization of LLM-226 including X-ray crystallographic analysis and small-scale safety properties will be discussed.
