1 Introduction
Metal perchlorates have strong oxidizing properties andamines are reducing in nature Amines have strong eminusdonation power due to presence of lone pair eminus on theirnitrogen atom These two oxidizing and reducing groupscan be easily incorporated in a single molecule by reactingmetal perchlorate with amine resulting in the formationof metal amine perchlorate coordination compounds Anycomposition having strong oxidizing and reducing groupssimultaneously in a molecule will exhibit the propertiesof high energetic materials Thus metal perchlorate aminecomplexes will exhibit the properties of energetic materialand undergo autotransmitted decomposition reactions [1ndash3]when subjected to a stimuli (heat friction shock wave etc)Owing to their energetic properties these types of complexeshave found applications in explosives pyrotechnics andpropellants Such type of complexes has been proved tobe a strong burning rate modifier for hydroxyl terminatedpolybutadiene-ammonium perchlorate (HTPB-AP) basedpropellants [4 5] In search of insensitive high energeticmaterials a strong interest is being given by the researcheson such type of complexes (having oxidizing and reducing
group in one molecule) and they have been synthesized andtheir properties have been extensively investigated [5ndash14] Inthe present paper we report the preparation characterisa-tion thermolysis and explosion characterisation of nickelperchlorate complex with n-propyl amine water and ClO

In the order to calculate activation energy (119864119886) for the
removal of ligands (30 wt Loss which includes H2O and
2 n-pa molecule) a set of reaction models (Table 3) [19]was used on isothermal TG data in the temperature range200ndash240∘C (Figure 3) 119864
119886values obtained (sim18 kJmoleminus1) are
almost equal irrespective of the reaction model usedKinetic analysis of isothermal TG data applying isocon-
versional method [20 21] concerns with the calculation ofactivation energy independent of the model but correspond-ing to the extent of conversion (120572) of the complex Figure 4shows that at different values of 120572 119864
119886values in are different
Model-free isoconversional method is a better approach toobtain reliable and consistent kinetic data as compared tomodel-fitting methods
The complex when subjected to sudden high temperatureexplodes with noise To determine the activation energyof explosion (119864lowast) explosion delay time has been recordedat five different temperatures (Table 4) Activation energyfor explosion was found to be 309 kJmolminus1 A graph ofln119863119864versus 1119879 (Figure 5) shows that explosion delay time
exponentially depends on temperatures
4 Conclusion
The complex has been prepared and characterised by varioustechniques TG-DTA study reveals that the complex decom-pose in three steps After an initial weight loss (sim16) oxidiser(ClO4
minus) and fuel (reducing group ie n-pa) lead to ignitiongiving a sharp exothermic peak in DTA End product ofthermolysis corresponds to NiO Complex explodes whenkept suddenly under high temperatures

removal of ligands (30 wt Loss which includes H2O and
2 n-pa molecule) a set of reaction models (Table 3) [19]was used on isothermal TG data in the temperature range200ndash240∘C (Figure 3) 119864

In the order to calculate activation energy (119864119886) for the
removal of ligands (30 wt Loss which includes H2O and
2 n-pa molecule) a set of reaction models (Table 3) [19]was used on isothermal TG data in the temperature range200ndash240∘C (Figure 3) 119864
119886values obtained (sim18 kJmoleminus1) are
almost equal irrespective of the reaction model usedKinetic analysis of isothermal TG data applying isocon-
versional method [20 21] concerns with the calculation ofactivation energy independent of the model but correspond-ing to the extent of conversion (120572) of the complex Figure 4shows that at different values of 120572 119864
119886values in are different
Model-free isoconversional method is a better approach toobtain reliable and consistent kinetic data as compared tomodel-fitting methods
The complex when subjected to sudden high temperatureexplodes with noise To determine the activation energyof explosion (119864lowast) explosion delay time has been recordedat five different temperatures (Table 4) Activation energyfor explosion was found to be 309 kJmolminus1 A graph ofln119863119864versus 1119879 (Figure 5) shows that explosion delay time
exponentially depends on temperatures
4 Conclusion
The complex has been prepared and characterised by varioustechniques TG-DTA study reveals that the complex decom-pose in three steps After an initial weight loss (sim16) oxidiser(ClO4
minus) and fuel (reducing group ie n-pa) lead to ignitiongiving a sharp exothermic peak in DTA End product ofthermolysis corresponds to NiO Complex explodes whenkept suddenly under high temperatures
