Study on Synthesis, Burning Rate Catalytic and Anti-migration Properties of Ferrocene-Based Furan and Triazole Derivatives

This study focus on hetero cyclic ferrocene-based furan and triazole (FT-Fcs) organometallic compounds with their burning rate catalytic and anti-migration application for rocket propellant system. FT-Fcs (Fc-FAM, Fc-AMT, and Fc-FAO) were successfully prepared by the coupling reaction from the corresponding unit monomers. The structures of the targeted FT-Fcs were characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, FT-IR, XPS and ESI-MS. Reversible or quasi-reversible redox waves were observed in the current work using CV analysis of FT-Fcs and electrochemical behaviors were discussed. From the TGA data it was observed that with the addition of 5 wt% of Fc-AMT thermal decomposition temperature of pure AP was significantly decreased to 353.58 °C from 426.15 °C and proposed decomposition mechanism were discussed. Because of the presence of electronegative elements in the hetero cyclic ring, which are responsible for the establishment of interaction with AP and binding agent, FT-Fcs had better anti-migration performance than Fc.
