Synthesis, Characterization, and Theoretical Considerations of 1,2-bis(oxyamino)ethane Salts

The synthesis, characterization, theoretical calculations, and safety studies of energetic salts of 1,2- bis(oxyamino) ethane, (H2N-O-CH2-CH2-O-NH2), were carried out. The salts were characterized by vibrational (infrared, Raman), multinuclear nmr studies (1H, 13C), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC); elemental analysis; and initial safety testing (impact and friction sensitivity) . Theoretical calculations on the neutral, monoprotonated, and doubly protonated species of ethylene bisoxyamine were carried out using xxxx level of theory for the lowest energy structure and these theoretical results compared with the experimentally observed bond distances and vibrational (ir, Raman) frequency values. The single crystal X-ray diffraction study was carried out on the mono-perchlorate salt revealing a high degree of hydrogen bonding with an unexpected structure.

Sensing strategies for toxic vapor detection

This work was motivated by the recommendations of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) that threshold limits for hydrazine, H2N-NH2 in air be lowered from 100 to 10 parts-per-billion (ppb) concentration levels. Hydrazine is one of the high-energy propellants used in large volumes in Space Shuttle, Titan, payloads, and other aerospace operations. Since analytical methods presently available for hydrazine detection and/or determination do not satisfy such low levels of detection, the ultimate goal of this research is the development and characterization of a portable and compact chemical sensor ideally capable to detect (in real time) 1 ppb of hydrazine, continuously and reversibly. The laboratory prototype developed as part of this project is comprised of: (1) a reactor part in which H2N-NH2 reacts, generating chemiluminescence emission, with tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(III), which is immobilized on an ion-exchange polymeric materials of a perfluorinated hydrocarbon containing sulfonate groups as exchange centers (Nafion); (2) an electrochemical three-electrode cell posed at a potential at which the immobilized ruthenium complex could be reoxidized to the 3-oxidation state (as to provide reversible and continuous detection); and (3) a low power consumption photomultiplier tube to collect and quantitatively integrate the emitted photons with the help of auxiliary electronics and readout device.

Preparation of crosslinked 1,2,4-oxadiazole polymer

New crosslinked 1,2,4-oxadiazole elastomers were prepared by thermally condensing a monomer having the formula H2N(HON)C-R-Q, wherein Q is a triazine ring-forming group such as nitrile or amidine or a mixture of such group with amidoxime, or a mixture of said monomer with R C(NOH)NH2 sub 2 with R in these formulas standing for a bivalent organic radical. In the monomer charge, the overall proportions of amidoxime groups to triazine ring-forming groups varies depending on the extent of crosslinking desired in the final polymer.

Bifunctional monomers having terminal oxime and cyano or amidine groups

The preparation of crosslinked 1,2,4-oxadiazole elastomers is described. The technique involves thermally condensing (1) a monomer having the formula H2N(HON)C-R-Q, wherein Q is a triazine ring-forming groups such as nitrile or amidine or a mixture of such group with amidoxime, or (2) a mixture of the same monomer with R(C(NOH)NH2)2, with R in these formulas standing for a bivalent organic radical. In the monomer charge, the overall proportions of amidoxime groups to triazine ring-forming groups varies depending on the extent of crosslinking desired in the final polymer.
