Abstract

Compounds containing the azide group are already being used as primary explosives or energetic polymers/plasticizers. Here we present a short survey of the energy content of three small organic molecules that have been fully derivatized by N3 groups. Calculated thermodynamic and molecular properties indicate that their specific enthalpies of decomposition and combustion are in the range of those for current high energy-density materials.
