Explosives have a wide range of applications in many fields due to their high energy and high density. Recently, a new synthesized co-crystal explosive DAF:ADNP presents high detonation performance and low sensitivity. This work is aimed to understand how the structure and intermolecular interactions affect the performance of the DAF:ADNP co-crystal. The results indicate that the formed π-π interactions and stronger hydrogen bonds in the co-crystal enhance its stability and its impact sensitivity is reduced. The strong intralayer H···N and H···O interactions and interlayer π-π stacking are the main driving force for the formation of the co-crystal. Compared with the pure crystals, the detonation performance of the co-crystal slightly decreases, while its sensitivity reduces.
All calculations were used the DFT-PBE-D method with Vanderbilt-type ultrasoft pseudopotentials and plane wave (340.0 eV) in the CASTEP package. Radial distribution function were calculated by NVT-MD simulations for 100 ps with a time step of 1 fs at 298 K. Hirshfeld surfaces were generated by CrystalExplorer 3.0 and reduced density gradient analyses were performed by Multiwfn 3.0.
由于高能量和高密度,爆炸物在许多领域都有广泛的应用。最近,一种新合成的共晶炸药 DAF:ADNP 表现出高爆炸性能和低敏感度。这项工作旨在了解结构和分子间相互作用如何影响 DAF:ADNP 共晶的性能。结果表明,共晶中形成的π-π相互作用和更强的氢键增强了其稳定性,降低了其撞击敏感度。强烈的层内 H···N 和 H···O 相互作用以及层间π-π堆积是共晶形成的主要驱动力。与纯晶体相比,共晶的爆炸性能略有下降,但其敏感度降低。
所有计算均使用 CASTEP 软件包中的 DFT-PBE-D 方法和范德瓦尔斯型 ultrasoft 赝势以及平面波(340.0 eV)。在 298 K 下,使用 NVT-MD 模拟进行 100 ps 的模拟,时间步长为 1 fs。Hirshfeld 表面由 CrystalExplorer 3.0 生成,密度梯度分析由 Multiwfn 3.0 进行。
