Novel solvent-free energetic 3D metal-organic frameworks and their laser response

Two novel energetic metal-organic frameworks (EMOFs) were prepared by simple hydroxytetrazole (OH-Tz) method with hydroxytetrazole which have good oxygen balance and coordination ability as energetic ligand, namely, [Pb(OH-Tz)(2)](n) and [Pb(OH-Tz)(NO3)](n), were prepared by simple hydrothermal method. The two EMOFs have the same three-dimensional network structure, and there are no coordination solvent molecules in the structure, they form a dense network structure through the coordination bond length, so they have high density (3.578 and 4.154 g.cm(-3), respectively), good thermal stability(T-dec greater than 230 celcius) and detonation properties similar to those of RDX or HMX (8.62 km s(-1), 46.20 GPa and 8.13 km s(-1), 42.71 GPa, respectively). The response process of EMOFs to laser was captured by high-speed camera, and the initiation ability of EMOFs was tested by lead plate experiment, which shows that these solvent-free EMOFs have good laser-response performance and initiation ability.
