Investigating the Effective Factors in Improving Performance and Sensitive Properties of Energetic Metal-Organic Frameworks (HE-MOFs)

High Energy Density Materials (HEDMs) are a new generation of high-energetic materials with high-performance and safety and consist of several different types with different properties. One category of this kind of HEDMs explosives are high energy metal organic frameworks (HE-MOFs) that have more appropriate performance and safety compared to conventional explosives (HEMs) and even other HEDMs. These compounds consist of a metal ion (transition element) and high-energy ligands that are located in the metal's coordination space. Various factors are involved in improving the performance and sensitivity of high energy metal organic frameworks (HE-MOFs). Factors such as type of structure, ligand, central metal ion, molecular structure strain, and removal of trapped solvent in the network are affecting factors that enhance the performance. The parameters such as bond dissociation energy (BDE) inter/intra molecular interactions, free space in the crystalline network and encapsulated sensitive groups, are effective in reducing sensitivity and enhancing the safety of high energy metal organic frameworks. In this paper, the effective factors in the performance and sensitivity of HE-MOFs have been investigated.
