The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.7 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.1 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00016 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.18 SJR: 0.313 SNIP: 0.6 CiteScore™:: 1.6 H-Index: 16

ABSTRACT

The use of energetic materials as chemical feedstocks for higher value products potentially provides environmentally sound and cost-effective alternatives to disposal by open burning/open detonation. The conversion of UDMH (unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine) and Explosive D (ammonium picrate) to higher value explosives such as 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) and 1,3-diamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (DATB) illustrates our approach. We have developed a new synthesis of TATB that utilizes surplus UDMH (propellant) and Explosive D (high explosive) as starting materials. Methyl iodide reacts with UDMH to provide TMHI (1,1,1-trimethylhydrazinium iodide) which serves as a reagent for the amination of nitroaromatic substrates via Vicarious Nucleophilic Substitution (VNS) of hydrogen. The reaction of picramide (obtained from Explosive D) with TMHI gives TATB or DATB in 95% and 75% yields, respectively. This synthesis should offer significant savings in the production of TATB thereby making this insensitive high explosive more accessible for civilian applications.
