Triaminoguanidine Dinitramide, TAGDN: Synthesis and Characterization

Two dinitramide salts with very high heat of formation have been identified, i.e. triaminoguanidine dinitramide (TAGDN) and guanylazide dinitramide (GADN). Thermochemical calculations showed that TAGDN‐propellants have a higher impetus than the corresponding GADN‐propellants at a given flame tempera...

Summary:Two dinitramide salts with very high heat of formation have been identified, i.e. triaminoguanidine dinitramide (TAGDN) and guanylazide dinitramide (GADN). Thermochemical calculations showed that TAGDN‐propellants have a higher impetus than the corresponding GADN‐propellants at a given flame temperature. Due to the fact that a low flame temperature has to be prefered in a gun, TAGDN seems better suited as a component in gun propellants compared to GADN. TAGDN was thus synthesized, analyzed and characterized to determine some of its properties.
