Evaluation shows triazole-based energetics achieve high detonation velocity while maintaining thermal stability, suggesting enhanced safety for explosive materials.
Developing energetic materials (EMs) that offer superior performance while minimizing sensitivity to external stimulation, acceptable thermal stability, and upholding higher environmental acceptability is a pressing need. We developed poly‐nitro C‐C bonded 1,2,3‐ and 1,2,4‐triazole‐based tricyclic EMs, combining high performance with safety. Among all, hexa‐nitro compound 9 shows excellent detonation performance (detonation velocity [ V D ]: 8874 m s −1 , detonation pressure [ P ]: 34.4 GPa) and moderate insensitivity (IS: 15 J), competing with RDX in terms of V D and sensitivity. Their energetic salts ( 5 – 7 ) exhibit moderate to excellent V D of 7787–8379 m s −1 , P of 21.9–34.4 GPa, high thermal stability (190°C–194°C), and superior insensitivity (IS: 40 J, friction sensitivity [FS]: 360 N), surpassing TNT, offering next‐generation explosives balancing energy, stability, and safety.
