Thermochemical and Energy Characteristics of DAzFF and AzNTF

Abstract

The heat of combustion and the standard enthalpy of formation of 3,4-bis(4-azidofurazan-3-yl)furoxan (DAzFF) and 4-azido-4″-nitro-3,3′:4′,′3′-terfurazan (AzNTF) were experimentally determined. Thermodynamic analysis was performed to investigate the efficiency of these compounds as potential components of metal-free solid composite propellants based on an active binder with the possibility of introducing an additional small amount of oxidizer with a high oxygen content, e.g., ammonium perchlorate.
