Hydrogen bond system generated by nitroamino rearrangement: new character for designing next generation energetic materials

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Jan 21;57(5):603-606. doi: 10.1039/d0cc07101c.

Abstract

A new hydrogen bond system is formed by the transfer of a proton from nitroamino to form nitroimino. The proton and the oxygen in nitroimino form an intramolecular hydrogen bond and two intermolecular hydrogen bonds that shorten the distance between molecules both vertically and horizontally leading to higher density.
