The vibrational frequencies and intrinsic reaction coordinate （IRC） verification at the same level were computed to verify the transitions. And then we calculated the dissociation energies and analyzed the dissociation channels. The computational results show that the dissociation energies of C3O6 isomers relative to three CO2 are between 1.509 × 103 and 10.61 × 10^3 kJ·kg^-1, and the energy barriers of the reactions are 92.857, 131.138 and 185.793 kJ·mol^-1. Both the high dissociation energies and high energy barriers show that C3O6 clusters studied in this paper are stable enough to be used as high-energy-density materials.展开更多

Molecular structures were investigated at the B3LYP/6-31G** level, and isodesmic reactions were designed for calculating the group interactions. The results show that the group interactions ac-cord with the group additivity, increasing with the increasing number of nitroamino groups. The dis-tance between substituents influences the interactions. Detonation performances were evaluated by the Kamlet-Jacobs equations based on the predicted densities and heats of formation, while thermal stability and pyrolysis mechanism were studied by the computations of bond dissociation energy (BDE). It is found that the contributions of nitroamino groups to the detonation heat, detonation velocity, detonation pressure, and stability all deviate from the group additivity. Only 3a, 3b, and 9a-9c may be novel potential candidates of high energy density materials (HEDMs) according to the quantitative cri-teria of HEDM (ρ≈ 1.9 g/cm3, D ≈ 9.0 km/s, P ≈ 40.0 GPa). Stability decreases with the increasing number of N-NO2 groups, and homolysis of N-NO2 bond is the initial step in the thermolysis of the title com-pounds. Coupled with the demand of thermal stability (BDE > 20 kcal/mol), only 1,2,4-trinitrotriazacy-clohexane and 1,2,4,5-tetranitrotetraazacyclohexane are suggested as feasible energetic materials. These results may provide basic information for the molecular design of HEDMs.展开更多
