Abstract : The introduction of fluorodinitromethyl energetic groups is an efficient strategy to improve the performances of energetic materials. In this paper, an insensitive energetic compound 6-(fluorodinitromethyl)-3-nitro-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-1, 3, 5-triazine (FMTNT) was designed and synthesized based on the modification of 1, 3, 5-triazine backbone via the nitration-rearrangement, reduction and fluorination sequence. The single crystal of FMTNT was firstly obtained and determined, meanwhile, this novel structure was also fully characterized by the methods of IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, 19 F NMR and elemental analysis. Studies on thermal behaviors and detonation performances of FMTNT were also carried out through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC-TG) approach and EXPLO5 program, respectively. The decomposition temperature of FMTNT is found to be at 157.5 °C via thermal chemical analysis and the detonation performances were proved to be good, with a detonation velocity of 8624.8 m s −1 and detonation pressure of 29.1 Gpa. Furthermore, the experimental results showed that impact and friction sensitivity reaches 20 J and 240 N, even less sensitive than TNT, indicating a broad perspective in the application of insensitive explosives and propellants.
