Abstract
Full nitration is one of the most effective strategies used in synthesizing high-density energetic materials, but this strategy has reached its limit because the resultant compounds cannot be further functionalized. To overcome this limitation, we present the synergistic action of full nitration and strong intermolecular H-bonding in designing and synthesizing 1-trinitromethyl-3,5-dinitro-4-nitroaminopyrazole (DNTP) with a density that exceeds those of the reported monocyclic CHON compounds. The detonation velocity and specific impulse of DNTP exceed those of 1-trinitromethyl-3,4,5-trinitropyrazole (TTP), HMX, and ADN.

Abstract
With the gradual expansion of the application of organic electromechanical synthesis in the field of energetic materials, it is necessary to explore deeply the mechanisms behind the organic electromechanical oxidation of energetic materials in order to develop efficient electrocatalysts. Electrochemical synthesis of 5,5'-azotetrazolate (ZT) salts is not only environmentally friendly and efficient but also can replace oxygen evolution reaction (OER) combined with hydrogen production, significantly reducing the battery voltage of overall water splitting (OWS) and achieving low energy consumption hydrogen production. Here, we prepared the Co-modified nickel-based oxide electrodes (Ni3-xCoO4/carbon cloth (CC), x = 1, 2) as a medium to reveal the oxidative coupling mechanism of 5-aminotetrazole (5-AT). Experimental and theoretical calculations verified that Ni-catalyzed oxidative coupling of 5-AT is a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process, including electron transfer of electrocatalytic intermediates (Ni2+-O + OH- = Ni3+-O(OH) + e-) and spontaneous dehydrogenation process (Ni3+-O(OH) + X-H = Ni2+-O + X•). The Ni3+-O(OH) is an extremely fast nonreducing electron transfer center that serves as a chemical oxidant to directly abstract hydrogen atoms from the 5-AT. Simultaneously, the synergistic effect of Co doping on the electric cloud around Ni causes the upshift of the d-band centers, which is conducive to the easier adsorption of OH*, forming the generation of active intermediate Ni3+-O(OH). Thus, Ni2CoO4/CC has higher Faraday efficiency (FE) and yield for the oxidation reaction of 5-AT, with a yield of approximately 72.3% after electrolysis at 1.7 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE).

Abstract
Reported herein is the 1,2-dithiocyanation of alkenes and alkynes via an efficient and facile electrochemical method. This approach not only showed a broad substrate scope and good functional-group compatibility but also avoided stoichiometric oxidants. Different from previous reports, various internal alkynes could be tolerated to provide tetra-substituted alkenes. Further gram-scale-up experiments and synthetic transformation demonstrated a potential application in organic synthesis. This process underwent a radical pathway, as evidenced by our mechanistic studies.

Abstract
Advanced energetic materials (EMs) play a crucial role in the advancement of microenergetic systems as actuation parts, igniters, propulsion units, and power. The sustainable electrosynthesis of EMs has gained momentum and achieved substantial improvements in the past decade. This study presents the facile synthesis of a new type of high-performance CuN3@CuCl hybrids via a co-electrodeposition methodology utilizing porous Cu as the sacrificial template. The composition, morphology, and energetic characteristics of the CuN3@CuCl hybrids can be easily tuned by adjusting the deposition times. The resulting hybrids demonstrate remarkable energy output (1120 J·g-1) and good laser-induced initiating ability. As compared with porous CuN3, the uniform doping of inert CuCl enhances the electrostatic safety of the hybridized material without compromising its overall energetic characteristics. Notably, the special oxidizing behavior of CuCl gradually lowers the susceptibility of the hybrid material to laser and electrostatic stimulation. This has significant implications for the passivation or self-destruction of highly sensitive EMs. Overall, this study pioneers a new path for the development of MEMS-compatible EMs, facilitating further microenergetic applications.

Abstract
One of the representative coordination polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) material, is of hotspot interest in the multi field thanks to their unique structural characteristics and properties. As a novel hierarchical structural class, MOFs show diverse topologies, intrinsic behaviors, flexibility, etc. However, bare MOFs have less desirable biofunction, high humid sensitivity and instability in water, restraining their efficiencies in biomedical and environmental applications. Thus, a structural modification is required to address such drawbacks. Herein, we pinpoint new strategies in the synthesis and functionalization of MOFs to meet demanding requirements in in vitro tests, i.e., antibacterial face masks against corona virus infection and in wound healing and nanocarriers for drug delivery in anticancer. Regarding the treatment of wastewater containing emerging pollutants such as POPs, PFAS, and PPCPs, functionalized MOFs showed excellent performance with high efficiency and selectivity. Challenges in toxicity, vast database of clinical trials for biomedical tests and production cost can be still presented. MOFs-based composites can be, however, a bright candidate for reasonable replacement of traditional nanomaterials in biomedical and wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
Oxadiazole and triazole are extensively investigated heterocyclic scaffolds in the development of energetic materials. New energetic molecules were designed by replacing 1,2,5-oxadiazole with 2H-1,2,3-triazole in the reported conjugated macrocyclic systems to assess the influence on the energetic properties and stability. In addition, nitro groups were introduced in triazole units (N-functionalization) to improve the energetic performance. Energetic properties, including heat of formation, oxygen balance, density, detonation pressure and velocity, and impact sensitivity, were estimated for these triazole-based macrocycles. The replacement of 1,2,5-oxadiazole with 2H-1,2,3-triazole and 2-nitro-1,2,3-triazole significantly enhances the energy content, detonation performance, and noncovalent interactions. The theoretically computed energetic properties of triazole-based macrocycles reveal high positive heats of formation (1507-2761 kJ/mol), oxygen balance (-88.8 to -22.8%), high densities (1.87-1.90 g/cm3), superior detonation velocities (8.41-9.52 km/s), pressures (26.64-40.55 GPa), acceptable impact sensitivity (27-40 cm), and safety factor (51-290). The overall energetic assessment highlights triazole-based macrocycles as a potential framework that will be useful for developing advanced energetic materials.

Abstract
Safe, efficient, and green synthetic energetic combustion catalysts are of great importance for the application of ammonium perchlorate (AP) in solid propellants. In this study, a novel, simple, efficient, and green electrochemical method for synthesizing energetic combustion catalysts was designed and implemented to successfully synthesize Co(BODN)·9H2O (BODN = [2,2'-bi{1,3,4-oxadiazole}]-5,5'-dinitramide), a novel energetic combustion catalyst. The target products were characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. Results reveal that Co(BODN)·9H2O crystallizes in the triclinic P1̅ space group and has a density of 1.836 g cm-3. The size of the Co(BODN)·9H2O crystal increases gradually with the increase in the reaction current and the prolongation of the reaction time, respectively. However, the change in reaction current and time does not affect the crystal form. In addition, with the increase in Co(BODN)·9H2O content, the peak temperature of high-temperature decomposition (HTD) and apparent activation energy of AP/Co(BODN)·9H2O gradually decrease, and the heat release during thermal decomposition gradually increases. The HTD peak temperature and apparent activation energy of AP/Co(BODN) 9H2O (10%) decrease by 97.9 °C and 94.2 kJ·mol-1, respectively, compared with those of pure AP, and the heat release during thermal decomposition increases by 1613 J·g-1. Furthermore, compared with those of the propellant containing pure AP, the burning rate and flame temperature of the propellant containing AP/Co(BODN)·9H2O (10%) increase by 8.15 mm s-1 and 458.44 °C, respectively. Real-time Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy reveals that CoO catalyzes the thermal decomposition of AP mainly by promoting electron transfer to accelerate the oxidation of NH3 and the conversion of N2O to NO. In brief, this work provides new insights into synthesizing energetic combustion catalysts. Moreover, Co(BODN)·9H2O synthesized through the electrochemical method exhibits considerable application prospects for improving the thermal and energy performance of AP and the combustion performance of propellants.

Abstract
In our pursuit of promoting the green development of energetic materials and harnessing their functional benefits, we strive to address the inherent contradiction between energy and low sensitivity. In this regard, we have successfully constructed an azotriazole framework via environmentally friendly electrochemistry with a satisfactory yield of 62.3%. Through a simple ion-exchange process, we then synthesized nitrogen-rich salt derivatives of azotriazolone. These nitrogen-rich salts exhibit a wide range of nitrogen contents, ranging from 32.16 to 68.80%. Remarkably, crystallographic analysis of these green energy-containing salts reveals substantial advantages in terms of thermodynamic stability and low sensitivity. Experimental investigations have demonstrated a positive relationship between the nitrogen content and the pyrothermal performance of the azotriazolone derivatives. Of particular significance is compound 5, a triaminoguanidine salt, which exhibits an exceptionally high nitrogen content of 68.80%. It displays a detonation pressure of 28.2 GPa and a detonation velocity of 7939.4 m s-1. Moreover, the derivatives of azotriazolone salts demonstrate the formation of nitrogen-rich compounds, characterized by insensitive properties, attributed to the hydrogen-bonded network structures resulting from anion-cation interactions. With the exception of compound 5, which exhibits a friction sensitivity of 252 N, the remaining derivatives show a similar value of approximately 360 N. This suggests that azotriazolone serves as a promising material possessing both stabilizing properties and better detonation performance, thereby providing a favorable platform for the synthesis of novel compounds with advantageous properties.

Abstract
Over the past decades, asymmetric photochemical synthesis has garnered significant attention for its sustainability and unique ability to generate enantio-enriched molecules through distinct reaction pathways. Photochemical asymmetric three-component reactions have demonstrated significant potential for the rapid construction of chiral compounds with molecular diversity and complexity. However, noteworthy challenges persist, including the participation of high-energy intermediates such as radical species, difficulties in precise control of stereoselectivity, and the presence of competing background and side reactions. Recent breakthroughs have led to the development of sophisticated strategies in this field. This review explores the intricate mechanisms, synthetic applications, and limitations of these methods. We anticipate that it will contribute towards advancing asymmetric catalysis, photochemical synthesis, and green chemistry.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) methods were used to design a series of energetic dinitro-tris(triazole) isomers by altering the triazole rings and -NO2 groups. The impact of three nitrogen atoms' position in the tris(triazole) scaffold on energy content, performance, and stability was discussed. Based on computed heats of formation and densities, the detonation properties were predicted using the thermochemical EXPLO5 (v6.06) code. Using the bond dissociation energy of the longest C-NO2 bond, the thermal stability was investigated. The mechanical sensitivities were estimated and correlated with RDX and HMX using maximum heats of detonation (Q), free void (ΔV) in the lattice of the crystalline compound, and total -NO2 group charge. Among the designed series, compounds O4, R1, R3, and R4 display high heats of formation (>450 kJ/mol), high densities (>1.92 g/cm3), good detonation performances (D > 8.76 km/s and P > 32.0 GPa), and low sensitivities. Our findings suggest that the isomeric tricyclic triazole backbone could be a promising platform for developing new high-performing and thermostable energy materials.

Abstract
Electrochemical synthesis techniques are currently of great interest due to the possibility of synthesizing products while limiting reactant and energy input and providing potentially unique selectivity. Our group has previously reported the development of the "anion pool" synthesis method. As this is a new method for organic synthesis and the coupling of C-N bonds, it is important to understand the reactivity trends and limitations this method provides. In this report we explore the reactivity trends of a series of nitrogen-containing heterocycles under reductive electrochemical conditions. The results show that anionic nitrogen heterocycles are stable at room temperature in acetonitrile/electrolyte solutions up to a parent N-H pKa value up to 23. Addition of carbon electrophiles to solutions containing the electrochemically generated anionic nitrogen heterocycles led to the C-N cross-coupling reactivity. Product yields tracked linearly with the pKa value of the N-H bond of the heterocycles over 4 orders of acidity magnitude. Both benzylic halides and perfluorinated aromatics were found suitable for undergoing C-N cross-coupling with the anionic nitrogen heterocycles with product yields as high as 90%. It is also shown that the stability and reactivity of the anions are affected by the choice of electrolyte and temperature. Additionally, this procedure compares well to green chemistry processes in atom economy and PMI values.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have surfaced as increasingly viable components in optoelectronics and material sciences. The development of highly efficient and atom-economic tools to prepare PAHs under exceedingly mild conditions constitutes a long-term goal. Traditional syntheses of PAHs have largely relied on multistep approaches or the conventional Scholl reaction. However, Scholl reactions are largely inefficient with electron-deficient substrates, require stoichiometric chemical oxidants, and typically occur in the presence of strong acid. In sharp contrast, electrochemistry has gained considerable momentum during the past decade as an alternative for the facile and straightforward PAHs assembly, generally via electro-oxidative dehydrogenative annulation, releasing molecular hydrogen as the sole stoichiometric byproduct by the hydrogen evolution reaction. This review provides an overview on the recent and significant advances in the field of electrochemical syntheses of various PAHs until January 2023.

Abstract
Density is an important property of energetic materials and is believed to increase with the addition of heavy trinitromethyl groups, as shown in previous literature. However, this study determined that the introduction of these groups produced a decrease in density, as evidenced by the lower density of 1-trinitromethyl-4-amino-3,5-dinitropyrazole ((TN-116), 1.899 g cm-3) compared to that of its precursor (4-amino-3,5-dinitropyrazole (LLM-116), 1.900 g cm-3). Mechanistic studies indicated that the reduced density was due to the significantly weaker H-bonding and π-π interactions of TN-116, which produced looser stacking compared to that of LLM-116.

Abstract
Recently, the construction of novel fused-ring frameworks has become one of the most significant innovative approaches to access high-energy and thermostable energetic molecules. In this work, an ether bridge was utilized as a building block to construct energetic fused-ring skeletons for the first time. Two new [5,7,5]-tricyclic N-heterocycle-based backbones, ditriazole-1,3,6-oxadiazepine and pyrazole-triazole-1,3,6-oxadiazepine, were synthesized via a straightforward one-step synthetic route and the energetic performances of their derivatives were further evaluated. Containing an additional oxygen atom, high-density pyrazole-triazole backbone, and high crystal packing coefficient, the asymmetric molecule 2,10,11-trinitro-5H,7H-pyrazolo[1,5-c][1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-e][1,3,6]oxadiazepine (NOB-3) features a high crystal density of 1.825 g cm-3, much superior to those of the symmetrical analogues 2,10-dinitro-5H,7H-bis([1,2,4]triazolo)[1,5-c:5',1'-e][1,3,6]oxadiazepine (NOB-4, d = 1.758 g cm-3) and D (d = 1.634 g cm-3). Meanwhile, the compounds NOB-3 and NOB-4 exhibit better thermal stability than the parent molecule DNBT (Td = 251 °C), and their decomposition temperatures reach up to 303 and 294 °C, respectively. The remarkable overall performance of NOB-3 and NOB-4 strongly suggests them as appropriate candidates for heat-resistant explosives. Our study may give new insights into the close correlation of the structural properties of energetic fused-ring frameworks, and the universality of the asymmetric heterocycles combination strategy for designing advanced high-energy density materials (HEDMs) was emphasized again.

Abstract
Energetic materials undergo hundreds of chemical reactions during exothermic runaway, generally beginning with the breaking of the weakest chemical bond, the "trigger linkage." Herein we report the syntheses of a series of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) derivatives in which the energetic nitrate ester groups are systematically substituted by hydroxyl groups. Because all the PETN derivatives have the same nitrate ester-based trigger linkages, quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) simulations show very similar Arrhenius kinetics for the first reactions. However, handling sensitivity testing conducted using drop weight impact indicates that sensitivity decreases precipitously as nitrate esters are replaced by hydroxyl groups. These experimental results are supported by QMD simulations that show systematic decreases in the final temperatures of the products and the energy release as the nitrate ester functional groups are removed. To better interpret these results, we derive a simple model based only on the specific enthalpy of explosion and the kinetics of trigger linkage rupture that accounts qualitatively for the decrease in sensitivity as nitrate ester groups are removed.

Abstract
N-nitration of 2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyrazine (ANPZ) leads to a sensitive energetic compound N,N'-(3,5-dinitropyrazine-2,6-diyl)dinitramide. This nitro(nitroamino) compound was stabilized by synthesizing energetic salts, dipotassium (3,5-dinitropyrazine-2,6-diyl)bis(nitroamide) (3) and diammonium (3,5-dinitropyrazine-2,6-diyl)bis(nitroamide) (4). Compounds 3 and 4 are fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 3 exhibits a three-dimensional energetic metal-organic framework (3D EMOF) structure and an outstanding overall performance by combining high experimental density (2.10 g cm-3), good thermal stability (Td(onset) = 220 °C), and good calculated performance of detonation (D = 8300 m s-1, P = 29.9 GPa). Compound 4 has acceptable thermal stability (155 °C), moderate experimental density (1.73 g cm-3), and good calculated performance of detonation (D = 8624 m s-1, P = 30.8 GPa). The sensitivities of compounds 3 and 4 toward impact and friction were determined following standard methods (BAM). The energetic character of compounds 3 and 4 was determined using red-hot needle and heated plate tests. The results highlight a 3D EMOF (3) based on a six-membered heterocycle as a potential energetic material.
