Diagonally Compressed TNAZ - A DFT Treatment
Abstract
TNAZ is an insensitive explosive material having a 4-membered azetidine ring system which has three nitro groups substituted, one of them is a nitramine type. In the present density functional treatise at the level of B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p), the 4-membered ring of TNAZ is compressed diagonally either along the X- or Y-axis direction. Various properties (including energies, quantum chemical and spectral etc.) in the perturbed systems have been searched and discussed.
