Superthermites or metastable intermolecular composites (MIC) are well-known for their excellent combustion characteristics in propellants. Herein, superthermites with three Fe2O3 morphologies (rod-like, polyhedral, and olivary) were synthesized. The effects of Al/Fe2O3 on the thermal decomposition property of nitrocellulose (NC) were investigated in detail via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results indicate that the catalytic performances of the superthermites are highly relevant to the specific surface area of their corresponding Fe2O3. Al/Fe2O3 containing rod-like Fe2O3 (Fe2O3(r)) shows a much improved performance compared with other morphological samples. The values of apparent activation energy (Ea) and thermal ignition temperature (Tbeo) of NC-Al/Fe2O3(r) were the lowest. This study could provide some directive reference data for the thermal behavior of nitrocellulose-based superthermites.

Two transition metal complexes, [CoL4Cl2]·4MeOH 1 and [NiL4Cl2]·4MeOH 2 (L = (RS)-1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-3-(1,2,4-triazole-1-ylmethyl)pentane-3-ol), tebuconazole were synthesized and their structures were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). Crystal structural analysis shows that complexes 1 and 2 have similar structures, both with the metal cation lying on a crystallographic inversion center and coordinated with four triazole groups and two chloride anions. The antifungal activities of L and its complexes against four selected plant pathogenic fungi were evaluated. The results show that both complexes have stronger bioactivities than the ligand L and that complex 2 has slightly higher bioactivities than complex 1. To elucidate the mechanisms behind the increased antifungal activities of the title complexes in comparison with L, cumulative release studies in static water and theoretical investigations of the complexes were carried out. The results indicate that there are three factors contributing to the enhanced bioactivities: attractive controlled release properties, synergic interaction between metal cations and L, and improved penetration into the lipid membranes.

The reaction of dimethyl ether (DME) with molecular oxygen has been considered to be the dominant initiation pathway for DME combustion compared to the C–O bond fission. This work presents a detailed mechanism and kinetics investigation for the O2 + DME reaction with theoretical approaches. Using the CCSD(T)/6-311+G(2df,2pd) potential energy surface with the M06-2X/MG3S gradient, Hessian, and geometries, rate constants are evaluated by multistructural canonical variational transition-state theory (MS-CVT) including contributions from hindered rotation and multidimensional tunneling over the temperature range 200–2800 K. The CCSD(T) and QCISD(T) with 6-311+G(2df,2pd) calculations predict a barrier of 190–194 kJ mol–1 for the O2 + DME reaction based on the optimized structures at various levels. It is proposed that there exists a weakly interacting adducts on the product side with subsequent dissociation to the separate HO2 and CH3OCH2 radicals. Torsions in transition state are found to be significantly coupled to generate four conformations whose contributions do influence the rate constant predictions. Variational effects are observed to be significant at high temperatures, while tunneling effect quickly becomes insignificant with temperature. Finally, four-parameter Arrhenius expression 9.14 × 1013(T/300)−3.15 exp[−184.52(T + 110.23)/(T2 + 110.232)] cm3 mol–1 s–1 describes the temperature dependence of MS-CVT rate constants with small-curvature tunneling correction.

Azole compounds have attracted commercial interest due to their high bactericidal and plant-growth-regulating activities. Uniconazole [or 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pent-1-en-3-ol] is a highly active 1,2,4-triazole fungicide and plant-growth regulator with low toxicity. The pharmacological and toxicological properties of many drugs are modified by the formation of their metal complexes. Therefore, there is much interest in exploiting the coordination chemistry of triazole pesticides and their potential application in agriculture. However, reports of complexes of uniconazole are rare. A new cobalt(II) complex of uniconazole, namely dichloridotetrakis[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-κN4)pent-1-en-3-ol]cobalt(II), [CoCl2(C15H18ClN3O)4], was synthesized and structurally characterized by element analysis, IR spectrometry and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The crystal structural analysis shows that the CoII atom is located on the inversion centre and is coordinated by four uniconazole and two chloride ligands, forming a distorted octahedral geometry. The hydroxy groups of an uniconazole ligands of adjacent molecules form hydrogen bonds with the axial chloride ligands, resulting in one-dimensional chains parallel to the a axis. The complex was analysed for its antifungal activity by the mycelial growth rate method. It was revealed that the antifungal effect of the title complex is more pronounced than the effect of fungicide uniconazole for Botryosphaeria ribis, Wheat gibberellic and Grape anthracnose.

Two Cu(II) complexes, [CuL2Cl2(EtOH)] 1 and [CuL4(NO3)2]·0.5H2O 2 (L = 1-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-1-H(1,2,4-triazole-1-y)-2-butanone, triadimefon) have been synthesized and their structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). Crystal structural analysis shows that in complex 1, the copper cation lies on a crystallographic inversion center and is coordinated with two triazole groups, two chloride ligands and an ethanol molecule. In each unit cell, two pairs of adjacent [CuL2Cl2(EtOH)] molecules are linked by O–H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds to form a 2D plane. Complex 2 is octahedral with the metal cation bound to four triazole groups and two nitrate ligands. The geometry is elongated due to the more distant interactions between connecting nitrate O atoms and the Cu cation. The two complexes were screened for antifungal activities against five selected fungi using the mycelial growth rate method. The synergistic interactions between Cu2+ and triadimefon were also investigated by the Wadley approach, and the results reveal that the synergy levels for the ratio 1:4 of the molecular-level mixture of Cu2+ and triadimefon are better than that for the ratio 1:2. To better understand the structure–activity relationship, theoretical investigation of the electronic structure of the metal complexes has been carried out using density function theoretical (DFT) calculations. The results indicated that the Cu cation and the triazole originating from triadimefon are the active sites, and the decrease of the polarity of Cu2+ can contribute to the increased biocidal properties after complexation since it is responsible for the enhanced penetration of the metal complexes into the lipid membranes.

Four Cu(II) complexes, namely, [CuL2(SO4)(DMF)]n1, [CuL2(CH3COO)2] 2, [CuL4Cl2]·2DMF·3H2O 3 and [CuL4(ClO4)2] 4, (L = ((RS)-1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-3-(1,2,4-triazole-1-ylmethyl)pentan-3-ol), tebuconazole) have been synthesized and their structures were identified by elemental analysis (EA), infrared (IR) spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). Moreover, the four obtained complexes were screened for antifungal activities against four selected fungi using the mycelial growth rate method. Structural analysis indicates that the different coordination modes of the ligands and counter anions contribute to a one-dimensional polymer chain structure in complex 1 and zero-dimensional mononuclear structures in complexes 2–4. The results of the antifungal activities show that all the complexes synthesized show better antifungal activities than the ligand L. In addition, the mechanism of the increased antifungal activities of the title complexes in comparison with the ligand was discussed preliminarily and the synergistic interaction between Cu2+ and tebuconazole was also investigated by the Wadley approach.

Crystal structural analysis shows that the centrosymmetric CoII cation is coordinated by four diniconazole ligands and two water molecules, forming a six-coordinated octahedral structure. There are also two free nitrate counter-anions and two additional solvent water molecules in the structure. Intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the complex cations into a one-dimensional chain. In addition, the antifungal activity of the complex against Botryosphaeria ribis, Gibberella nicotiancola, Botryosphaeria berengriana and Alternariasolani was studied. The results indicate that the complex shows a higher antifungal activity for Botryosphaeria ribis and Botryosphaeria berengriana than diniconazole, but a lower antifungal activity for Gibberella nicotiancola and Alternariasolani.

An oriented attachment growth process was found for the morphology and shape control of various inorganic materials in solution-based systems. In this Article, a well-defined iron oxide polyhedron was prepared via a simple hydrothermal method. Detailed investigations revealed that the single-crystalline polyhedron evolved from polycrystalline aggregates. The shape and size control of the iron oxide crystals were achieved by simply adjusting the synthesis parameters. The as-prepared products exhibit excellent gas sensing selectivity to ethanol vapor. The gas-sensing ability is closely related to the exposure of high-index facets.

Density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP was employed to optimize the structure and calculate the frequencies of tebuconazole. The calculated geometrical parameters are close to the corresponding experimental ones. The specific heat capacity of the title compound was determined with continuous Cp mode of a mircocalorimeter. In the determining temperature range from 283 to 353 K, the special heat capacity of the title compound presents good linear relation with temperature. Using the determined relationship of Cp with temperature T, thermodynamic functions (enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy) of the title compound between 283 and 353 K, relative to the standard temperature 298.15 K, were derived through thermodynamic relationship.

The kinetic parameters were obtained from the analysis of DSC curves by Kissinger method, Ozawa method, the differential method and the integral method. The main exothermic decomposition reaction mechanism of ATO is classified as nucleation and growth, and the kinetic parameters of the reaction are Ea = 119.50 kJ mol−1 and A = 109.03 s−1. The gas products and condensed phase products of the thermal decomposition of ATO were studied on two simultaneous devices of the fast thermolysis reaction cell (gas reaction cell) in situ in conjunction with rapid scan transform infrared spectroscopy (RSFT-IR) and the solid reaction cell in situ. The heat of formation (HOF) for ATO was evaluated by G3 theory. The detonation velocity (D) and detonation pressure (P) were estimated by using the well-known Kamlet–Jacobs equation, based on the theoretical HOF and the determined crystal density.

Abstract
4-Amino-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (ATO) was synthesized and single crystals suitable for X-ray measurement were obtained by recrystallization from distilled water at room temperature. The H-bond connections make the molecules of ATO form three-dimensional structure from the structure solution. A density-functional theory method with 6-311++G∗∗ was applied to study the H-bond interactions in the gaseous dimers of ATO. Twelve stable dimers were identified. The corrected binding energy of the most stable dimer (VIII) is predicted to be −53.11 kJ mol−1. The analysis of electron densities at critical bonds also indicates that dimer VIII has the strongest hydrogen bond among all the dimers. At 298.15 K the changes of Gibbs free energies (ΔG) for the dimerization are −2.87 and −9.67 kJ mol−1 for dimers VI and VIII, respectively. These two dimers can be spontaneously produced from the isolated monomer at room temperature. The bulk state of ATO was also studied using density-functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation. The unit cell parameters compare well with experimental data. An analysis of the electronic structure reveals that ATO is probably an insulator since it has a large band gap of 4.66 eV. The electron density in the N–NH2 bond is less than those of other bonds, indicating that it is the weakest bond.

•A simple and effective hydrothermal method was developed for preparing uniform HAp nanorods with amphiphilic surfaces.•The synthesized amphiphilic HAp nanorods could be dispersed in water, ethyl alcohol or cyclohexane.•The prepared HLC/HAp porous scaffolds had good mechanical properties, biocompatibility and osteoconductive etc.This paper describes a new synthetic strategy and biological application for novel amphiphilic hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanorods. The prepared HAp nanorods were able to be dispersed in water, ethyl alcohol and cyclohexane. The co-anchoring of the multidentate ligands of PEG 20000 and hydrophobic oleic acid (OA) on the rods' surfaces endowed them with excellent amphibious properties. Utilizing amphiphilic HAp nanorods with excellent biocompatibility as the inorganic phase, human-like collagen (HLC) as the organic phase and natural genipin as the cross-linker, optimal HLC/HAp porous scaffolds (HLC: HAp = 1:4, w/w) were fabricated. The compression stress and three-point bending strength of the scaffolds with pore diameters of 150 to 200 μm reached approximately 3.4 MPa and 5.4 MPa, respectively, and their porosity was 77.35 ± 3.75%. Cytological tests showed that HLC/HAp scaffolds could contribute to cell proliferation and differentiation. The results indicated that these novel amphiphilic HAp nanorods can be expected to become recognized as an excellent inorganic material for the porous scaffolds used in repairing bone and related applications.
