Abstract:

The changes of bond dissociation energy (BDE) in the C-NO(2) bond and nitro group charge upon the formation of the intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction between HF and the nitro group of 14 kinds of nitrotriazoles or methyl derivatives were investigated using the B3LYP and MP2(full) methods with the 6-311++G**, 6-311++G(2df,2p) and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets. The strength of the C-NO(2) bond was enhanced and the charge of nitro group turned more negative in complex in comparison with those in isolated nitrotriazole molecule. The increment of the C-NO(2) bond dissociation energies correlated well with the intermolecular H-bonding interaction energies. Electron density shifts analyses showed that the electron density shifted toward the C-NO(2) bond upon complex formation, leading to the strengthened C-NO(2) bond and the possibly reduced explosive sensitivity.
