Abstract

3-Oxy-furoxanate is immobilized in a heterometallic energetic metal-organic framework (MOFs). Two furoxan-based MOFs ([Ag2 K4 (BDOFO)(BDFO)2 (H2 O)6 ]n , [K2 (BDFO)]n ) and a salt ([(BDFO2- )(NH2 NH3 + )2 (H2 O)]n (BDOFO2- =4,5-bis(dinitromethyl)-3-oxy-furoxanate, BDFO2- =4,5-bis(dinitromethyl)-furoxanate) are synthesized and their energetic performance evaluated. This study outlines the systematic investigation of detonation performance of 3-oxy-furoxan and its derivatives.

Keywords: energetic materials; furoxanates; metal-organic frameworks; oxygen balance.
