Abstract

A general approach for the synthesis of covalent and ionic amine borane complexes containing trinitromethyl fragments has been developed through metathesis reactions between amine chloroborane complexes and potassium salt of trinitromethyl (K[C(NO₂)₃]). Five covalent and ionic trinitromethyl amine borane complexes have been synthesized in good yields with high purity and it is found that the ionic complex, [H₂B(NH₃)₂][C(NO₂)₃], might be a promising energetic material on the basis of the investigation of its thermal decomposition behaviour.
