Abstract:
The changes of bond dissociation energy (BDE) in the C–NO2 bond and nitro group charge upon the formation of the molecule-cation interaction between Na+ 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–NO2 bond was enhanced in comparison with that in the isolated nitrotriazole molecule upon the formation of molecule-cation interaction. The increment of the C–NO2 bond dissociation energy (ΔBDE) correlated well with the molecule-cation interaction energy. Electron density shifts analysis showed that the electron density shifted toward the C-NO2 bond upon complex formation, leading to the strengthened C-NO2 bond and the possibly reduced explosive sensitivity.
