Abstract

Thermal behaviors of bis(aminofurazano)furazan (BAFF) and bis(nitrofurazano)furazan (BNFF) were studied by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method with a special hermetic high-pressure crucible and compared to that with a common standard Al crucible. The exothermic decomposition processes of the two compounds were completely revealed. The extrapolated onset temperature, peak temperature and enthalpy of exothermic decomposition at the heating rate of 10 °C min−1 are 290.2, 313.4 °C and − 2174 J g−1 for BAFF, and 265.8, 305.0 °C and − 2351 J g−1 for BNFF, respectively. The apparent activation energies of the decomposition process for the two compounds are 115.7 and 131.7 kJ mol−1, respectively. The self-accelerating decomposition temperatures and critical temperatures of thermal explosion are 247.5 and 368.7 °C for BAFF, and 249.6 and 268.1 °C for BAFF, respectively. Both BAFF and BNFF present high thermal stability. The specific heat capacities for the two compounds were determined with the micro-DSC method, and the specific heat capacities and molar heat capacities at 298.15 K are 1.0921 J g−1 K−1 and 257.9 J mol−1 K−1 for BAFF, and 1.0419 J g−1 K−1 and 308.5 J mol−1 K−1 for BNFF, respectively.
