Abstract

New oxygen-rich compounds starting from the amino acids beta-alanine and l-aspartic acid were synthesized and comprehensively analyzed including multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and vibrational spectroscopy. Thermal stabilities were measured and the behavior towards external stimuli like friction or impact were determined. Detonation and combustion parameters were predicted by using the EXPLO5 V6.02 code and were compared with common explosives. In addition, crystal structures were obtained for two compounds.
