Backbone Isomerization to Enhance Thermal Stability and Decrease Mechanical Sensitivities of 10 Nitro-Substituted Bipyrazoles
The
development of novel, environmentally friendly, and high-energy
oxidizers remains interesting and challenging for replacing halogen-containing
ammonium perchloride (AP). The trinitromethyl moiety
is one of the most promising substituents for designing high-energy
density oxidizers. In this study, a backbone isomerization strategy
was utilized to manipulate the properties of 10 nitro group-substituted
bipyrazoles containing the largest number of nitro groups among the
bis-azole backbones so far. Another advanced high-energy density oxidizer,
3,3′,5,5′-tetranitro-1,1′-bisÂ(trinitromethyl)-1H,1′H-4,4′-bipyrazole (3), was designed and synthesized. Compared to the isomer 4,4′,5,5′-tetranitro-2,2′-bisÂ(trinitromethyl)-2H,2′H-3,3′-bipyrazole (4) (Td = 125 °C), 3 possesses better thermostability (Td = 156 °C), which is close to that of ammonium dinitramide (ADN) (Td = 159 °C), and it
possesses better mechanical sensitivity (impact sensitivity (IS) = 13 J and friction sensitivity (FS) = 240 N) than that of 4 (IS = 9 J
and FS = 215 N), thereby demonstrating a promising
perspective for practical applications

Flexible nets: disorder and induced fit in the associations of p53 and 14-3-3 with their partners-9
Ons of p53 represented in structure complexes in PDB are represented by horizontal bars, labeled with the name of the binding partner. For the DBD, the extent of the globular domain is indicated by the light grey box, where the internal horizontal bars indicate regions involved in binding to a particular partner. Post translational modifications sites are represented by vertical ticks. Experimentally characterized regions of disorder (red) and order (blue) are indicated by the horizontal bar. Finally, predictions of disorder (scores > 0.5) and order (scores < 0.5) are shown for two PONDR predictors: VLXT (solid line) and VSL2P (dashed line). All, features are presented to scale, as indicated by the horizontal axis. The p53 interaction partners and post translational modification sites have been adapted from Anderson & Appella [].<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Flexible nets: disorder and induced fit in the associations of p53 and 14-3-3 with their partners"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/9/S1/S1</p><p>BMC Genomics 2008;9(Suppl 1):S1-S1.</p><p>Published online 20 Mar 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2386051.</p><p></p
