Abstract

In this study, catalyst formation [Pb(H2O)6][ATZ]·H2O (ATZ = azo tetrazolium anion) was successfully synthesized originally; meanwhile, the single-crystal structure of the compound was cultivated and analyzed by diffraction single-crystal method. The influence of the compound in which [Pb(H2O)6][ATZ]·H2O was used as combustion catalyst on the decomposition temperature of potassium nitrate was studied by TG–DSC. The result proved that [Pb(H2O)6][ATZ]·H2O can effectively reduce the decomposition temperature. In other words, [Pb(H2O)6][ATZ]·H2O can reduce the decomposition temperature of potassium nitrate, so the addition of [Pb(H2O)6][ATZ]·H2O can make potassium nitrate better to be used in the fields of initiating explosive device and fire engineering.
