Low melting point energetic organic amines?

Hydrazine - 21-10-2008 at 10:14

Hello all,

I am trying to find information on anhydrous, freebase, organic amines with a melting point in the 50'C - 150'C range.

Would you have any suggestions?

Preferably energetic but not classified as explosive. It must be thermally stable and "relatively" nontoxic.

No oxygen containing compounds, nitrates, chlorides or salts for that matter.

Even eutectics are acceptable as long as it has these basic properties.

Hexamine is a good example of the type of amine I am looking for but of course Hexamine has a higher mp than desired. Otherwise, hexamine would fit the application.

Aminotetrazole certainly looks very interesting but according to some literature it is explosive when dry. Other literature makes no mention of aminotetrazole being explosive. Some of the information I have found is conflicting.

Thank you for any suggestions!
