A new solvent-free energetic MOF, [Pb(HBTI)]n (1) (H3BTI=4,5-bis(1H-tetrazole)-1H-imidazole), has been synthesized under hydrothermal and acidic conditions. It was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, thermogravimetric, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and SEM. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that 1 features a rigid 3D framework architecture free of solvent molecules. Thermal analysis demonstrated that the thermostability of 1 was up to 325 °C. Non-isothermal kinetic and apparent thermodynamic parameters of exothermic decomposition process of 1 were determined by Kissinger's and Ozawa's methods. Through oxygen-bomb combustion calorimetry, the standard molar enthalpy of formation of 1 was determined. The calculated detonation properties (heat of detonation, detonation velocity and detonation pressure) and sensitivity tests of 1 were carried out. In addition, 1 was explored as combustion promoter to accelerate the thermal decompositions of ammonium perchlorate (AP) by differential scanning calorimetry. Experimental results indicated that 1 possesses potential application prospects in the field of explosives and propellants. A new solvent-free 3D energetic MOF [Pb(HBTI)]n (H3BTI = 4,5-bis(1H-tetrazole)-1H-imidazole), which possesses superior thermostability, good detonation properties and insensitivity, has potential applications in the fields of explosives and propellants.
