Abstract:
Lithium nitrotriazolone dihydrate (LiNTO), lithium ethylenedinitramine hemihydrate
(LiEDNA), dilithium ethylenedinitramine dihydrate (Li2EDNA), lithium 5-aminotetrazolate
(LiATZ), lithium bis(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)amine hydrate (LiHexyl), lithium 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate
hydrate (LiTNF), and lithium 2,4,6-trinitroresorcinate dihydrate (LiTNR)
have been prepared and evaluated with respect to their potential use as a component in
the so-called green propellants. Densities and DTA decomposition temperatures were
determined. The heat of formation of lithium 5-aminotetratolate was measured using an
isoperibolic twin calorimeter. Sensitivities to impact and friction were defined to
evaluate handling safety.
