The values of bond dissociation energies, BDE, of the weakest N-N bonds and total energies, Etotal, of molecules have been calculated for 14 cyclic nitramines by means of the UB3LYP/6-31G* and UB3LYP/6-31+G* // PM3 methods. The relationships found between the BDE values and values of heat of fusion, Hm,tr, of these nitramines are not unambiguous. More unambiguous and logical relationships result from comparison of the BDE/Etotal ratio and the Hm,tr values. The dependences found appear suitable for prediction of the Hm,tr values for cis-1,3,4,6-tetranitrooctahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazole (31.89 kJ mol-1), 4,8,10,12-tetranitro-2,6-dioxa-4,8,10,12-tetraazaisowurtzitane (41.73 kJ mol-1), and 4,6,10,12-tetranitro-2,8-dioxa-4,6,10,12-tetraazaisowurtzitane (41.67 kJ mol-1); the predicted values of Hm,tr are within the expected limits and can represent a stabilizing effect of crystal lattice in decomposition reactions of the studied compounds in their molecular crystals.

A New View of Relationships of the N-N Bond Dissociation Energies of Cyclic Nitramines. Part III. Relationship with Detonation Velocity
Zeman, Svatopluk; Atalar, Taner (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
The values of bond dissociation energies, BDE, of the weakest N-N bonds and total energies, Etotal, of molecules have been calculated for 14 cyclic nitramines by means of the UB3LYP/6-31G* and UB3LYP/6-31+G* // PM3 methods. Ambiguous relationships were found between the logarithms of detonation velocities and BDE/Etotal ratios of these nitramines. The reason of this found ambiguity mainly lies in a real conformation of the respective molecules and intermolecular force effects in real molecular crystals, whi...
A New View of Relationships of the N-N Bond Dissociation Energies of Cyclic Nitramines. Part II. Relationships with Impact Sensitivity
Atalar, Taner; Jungova, Marcela; Zeman, Svatopluk (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
The values of bond dissociation energies, BDE, of the weakest N-N bonds and total energies, Etotal, of molecules have been calculated for 14 cyclic nitramines by means of the UB3LYP/6-31G* and UB3LYP/6-31+G* // PM3 methods. The relationships found between the BDE values and logarithms of impact sensitivity of these nitramines, expressed as drop energy, Edr, are not unambiguous. Replacement of these BDE values by the BDE/Etotal ratio has not resulted in any simplification of the said relationships, but their...
A DFT Study on Nitro Derivatives of Pyridine
Türker, Burhan Lemi; Gumus, Selcuk; Atalar, Taner (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
The heat of formation values of all possible nitro derivatives of pyridine have been calculated by the application of various density functional theory (DFT) methods by a proper isodesmic reaction. The heat of formation data trends in series are found to be independent of the selected DFT method, although some differences have been observed in value. Total energies and nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS(0)) values have also been calculated in order to jugde the aromatic stabilities for the nitropyridi...
Novel RDX-Based Cage and Cage-Like Nitramines
Türker, Burhan Lemi; Bayar, Caglar Celik; Turhan, Hamza (Informa UK Limited, 2013-10-01)
1,3,5-Trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX)-based cage and cage-like nitramines in which two RDX molecules are linked to each other via three and two carbon atoms, respectively, have been investigated computationally using density functional theory (DFT) at a B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) theoretical level. The study focused on finding out how the quantum chemical and detonation properties of RDX change if two RDX molecules come together and form these structures. Both considered nitramines exhibited higher heats of for...
A LOCAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SCHWARZSCHILD AND REISSNER METRICS
GARCIARIO, E; KUPELI, DN (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1994-12-01)
A local characterization of Schwarzschild and Reissner metrics is made by using the concepts of infinitesimal null anisotropy (or equivalently, infinitesimal isotropy) and weak affinity.
