Bis(5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methane (BATZM, C5H8N8) was synthesized and its crystal structure characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction; it belongs to the space group Fdd2 (orthorhombic) with Z = 8. The structure of BATZM can be described as a V-shaped molecule with reasonable chemical geometry and no disorder. The specific molar heat capacity (Cp,m ) of BATZM was determined using the continuous Cp mode of a microcalorimeter and theoretical calculations, and the Cp,m value is 211.19 J K−1 mol−1 at 298.15 K. The relative deviations between the theoretical and experimental values of Cp,m , HT – H 298.15K and ST – S 298.15K of BATZM are almost equivalent at each temperature. The detonation velocity (D) and detonation pressure (P) of BATZM were estimated using the nitrogen equivalent equation according to the experimental density; BATZM has a higher detonation velocity (7954.87 ± 3.29 m s−1) and detonation pressure (25.72 ± 0.03 GPa) than TNT.

Using external stimuli to control surface properties, such as surface topology or wettability, has been of great interest. This paper presents the fabrication, mechanism, and analysis of an active method that modulates surface nano-topology and wettability of polymeric films. The polymeric film possesses the unique property of electrical potential-induced wettability conversion: when its doping level is electrically altered, the interstitial ions are incorporated or released, causing the polymer network to stretch and thereby changing its surface morphology.

Bis(5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-4-ium-3-yl)methane dichloride (BATZM·Cl2 or C5H10N8 2+·2Cl−) was synthesized and crystallized, and the crystal structure was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction; it belongs to the space group C2/c (monoclinic) with Z = 4. The structure of BATZM·Cl2 can be described as a V-shaped molecule with reasonable chemical geometry and no disorder, and its one-dimensional structure can be described as a rhombic helix. The specific molar heat capacity (Cp ,m) of BATZM·Cl2 was determined using the continuous C p mode of a microcalorimeter and theoretical calculations, and the Cp ,m value is 276.18 J K−1 mol−1 at 298.15 K. The relative deviations between the theoretical and experimental values of Cp ,m, HT – H 298.15K and ST – S 298.15K of BATZM·Cl2 are almost equivalent at each temperature. The detonation velocity (D) and detonation pressure (P) of BATZM·Cl2 were estimated using the nitrogen equivalent equation according to the experimental density; BATZM·Cl2 has a higher detonation velocity (7143.60 ± 3.66 m s−1) and detonation pressure (21.49 ± 0.03 GPa) than TNT. The above results for BATZM·Cl2 are compared with those of bis(5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methane (BATZM) and the effect of salt formation on them is discussed.

N-2’,4’-dinitrophenyl-3,3-dinitroazetidine (DNPDNAZ) is an important derivative of 3,3-dinitroazetidine (DNAZ). The density functional theory (DFT) method of the Amsterdam density functional (ADF) was used to calculate the geometry and frequencies. The detonation velocity (D) and detonation pressure (P) of DNPDNAZ were estimated using the nitrogen equivalent equation according to the experimental density. Results showed that the initial decomposition step of DNPDNAZ is the loss of NO2from C2 and N1 is the point of molecular reactivity,DandPare 7364.42 m·s-1and 23.75 GPa, respectively.

Bis(4,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methane monohydrate (BDATZM·H2O or C5H10N10·H2O) was synthesized and its crystal structure characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction; it belongs to the space group P-1 (triclinic) with Z = 2. The structure of BDATZM·H2O can be described as a two-dimensional ladder plane with extensive hydrogen bonding and no disorder. The thermal behaviour was studied under non-isothermal conditions by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric/differential thermogravimetric (TG/DTG) methods. The detonation velocity (D) and detonation pressure (P) of BDATZM were estimated using the nitrogen equivalent equation according to the experimental density. A comparison between BDATZM·H2O and bis(5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methane (BATZM) was made to determine the effect of the amino group; the results suggest that the amino group increases the hydrophilicity, space utilization and energy, and decreases the thermal stability and symmetry of the resulting compound.

Bis(5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-4-ium-3-yl)methane dinitrate, BATZM·(NO3)2 or C5H10N8 2+·2NO3 −, was synthesized and its crystal structure determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the space group Pbcn (orthorhombic) with Z = 4. BATZM·(NO3)2 is a V-shaped molecule where hydrogen bonds form a two-dimensional corrugated sheet with reasonable chemical geometry and no disorder. The specific molar heat capacity (C p,m) of BATZM·(NO3)2 was determined using the continuous C p mode of a microcalorimeter and theoretical calculations, and the C p,m value is 366.14 J K−1 mol−1 at 298.15 K. The relative deviations between the theoretical and experimental values of C p,m, HT – H 298.15K and ST – S 298.15K of BATZM·(NO3)2 are almost equivalent at each temperature. The detonation velocity (D) and detonation pressure (P) were estimated using the nitrogen equivalent equation according to the experimental density; BATZM·(NO3)2 has a higher detonation velocity (7927.47 ± 3.63 m s−1) and detonation pressure (27.50 ± 0.03 GPa) than 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). The above results for BATZM·(NO3)2 are compared with those of bis(5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methane (BATZM) and bis(5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-4-ium-3-yl)methane dihydrochloride (BATZM·Cl2), and the effect of nitrate formation is discussed.

Mycobacteriophage R1 was originally isolated from a lysogenic culture of M. butyricum. The virus was propagated on a leucine-requiring derivative of M. smegmatis, 607 leu−, isolated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of typestrain ATCC 607. Growth was accomplished in a minimal medium containing glycerol and glucose as carbon source and enriched by the addition of 80 μg/ ml L-leucine. Bacteria in early logarithmic growth phase were infected with virus at a multiplicity of 5, and incubated with aeration for 8 hours. The partially lysed suspension was diluted 1:10 in growth medium and incubated for a further 8 hours. This permitted stationary phase cells to re-enter logarithmic growth and resulted in complete lysis of the culture.

Amorphous materials are of current interest due to their desirable mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties. Furthermore, crystallizing amorphous alloys provides an avenue for discerning sequential and competitive phases thus allowing access to otherwise inaccessible crystalline structures. Previous studies have shown the benefits of using AEM to determine crystal structures and compositions of partially crystallized alloys. The present paper will discuss the AEM characterization of crystallized Cu-Ti and Ni-Ti amorphous films.Cu60Ti40: The amorphous alloy Cu60Ti40, when continuously heated, forms a simple intermediate, macrocrystalline phase which then transforms to the ordered, equilibrium Cu3Ti2 phase. However, contrary to what one would expect from kinetic considerations, isothermal annealing below the isochronal crystallization temperature results in direct nucleation and growth of Cu3Ti2 from the amorphous matrix.

A nickel-base superalloy is essentially a Ni/Cr solid solution hardened by additions of Al (Ti, Nb, etc.) to precipitate a coherent, ordered phase. In most commercial alloy systems, e.g. B-1900, IN-100 and Mar-M200, the stable precipitate is Ni3 (Al,Ti) γ′, with an LI2structure. In A lloy 901 the normal precipitate is metastable Nis Ti3 γ′ ; the stable phase is a hexagonal Do2 4 structure. In Alloy 718 the strengthening precipitate is metastable γ″, which has a body-centered tetragonal D022 structure.Precipitate MorphologyIn most systems the ordered γ′ phase forms by a continuous precipitation re-action, which gives rise to a uniform intragranular dispersion of precipitate particles. For zero γ/γ′ misfit, the γ′ precipitates assume a spheroidal.
