Influence of nitro group substitutes to the stability and energetic properties of N-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-1H- 1,2,4-triazol-3-amine

In the paper, we aim to show N-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-1 H -1,2,4-triazol-3-amine (HM-I) as explosive material that satisfies requirements of sensitivity and hy- drolytically stability. The influence of nitro group substitutions on the thermal and chemical stability as well as the explosive performance of HM-I is also investigated. We found that nitro group substitution to the triazole ring of HM-I can significantly improve the properties of this new material. Only -NH 2 substitution position (but not their number) in the core molecule is ap- propriate to increase the stability and improve explosive performances of HM-I
