(Online) [online]. 2024, vol.78, pp.54-60. ISSN 1996-840X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/0379-4350/2024/v78a08.

Isomers of 1,4-diamino-3,6-dinitropyrazolo[4,3-c]pyrazole (LLM-119) were designed by structural reorientation of the fused pyrazole rings and their respective substituents (-NO₂ and -NH₂). The structural reorientation involves structural rearrangement, which results in different structural isomers. Employing this approach, six structural isomers of LLM-119 were designed. The effect of structural reorientation (isomerisation and derivatives) on the enthalpy of formation, detonation properties, impact sensitivity, and density of these molecules is studied computationally. The computational methods used in this work yielded results that are close to the literature values for LLM-119, namely 519.54 kJ.mol^-1 for enthalpy of formation, 1.80 g.ml^-1 for density, 8359.3 m.s^-1 for detonation velocity, and 31.0 Gpa for detonation pressure, with a relative error of 2% for enthalpy of formation, 2% for density, 0.05% for detonation velocity, and 4% for detonation pressure. The correlation of the structural reorientation to the calculated thermochemical and detonation properties of the molecules indicated that molecules with a -NO₂ group attached to a carbon atom and -NH₂ connected to a nitrogen atom maximise the enthalpy of formation and detonation velocity. The joining of pyrazole molecules has less effect on these parameters. The data shows that density and detonation pressure improved when both -NO₂ or -NH₂ functional groups were on the same side of the molecular structure. The structural reorientation gave rise to 3,4-dinitropyrazolo[3,4-c]pyrazole-1,6-diamine which exhibited optimal density and detonation performance compared to other molecules.
