Preparation of High-Energy ECPs by Retaining the Coordination Ability of Carbohydrazide Groups.

In order to preserve the coordinating ability of the hydrazide group, we used retrosynthetic analysis to design and synthesize ligand furan-2,5-dicarbohydrazide and its complex [Cu(FDCA)(H 2 O)ClO 4 ] n (ClO 4 ) n · n H 2 O ( ECPs-1·H 2 O ). The structure of the product was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The solvent-free target material ECPs-1 exhibited good thermal stability, sensitivity to mechanical stimuli, and excellent explosive properties. Furthermore, it had good potential for laser ignition and comparable detonation power to LA. The simple preparation method and inexpensive starting materials enriched the research on primary explosives.
