Abstract
The present study considers a series of diazodinitrophenol isomers within the constraints of density functional theory at the level of B3LYP/311++G(d,p). One of the isomers in the series is known as DDNP which is a primary explosive material. Presently various dinitro substituted benzoxadiazol (bicyclic) and 2-diazo-1-oxide (azide) isomers analogous to DDNP have been focus of investigation. In all the cases the azide isomers have been found to be more stable electronically than the bicyclic counterparts. Various properties of them including quantum chemical ones are harvested, compared and discussed. Also NICS(0) values are obtained for the ring(s) and the local aromaticity values are discussed.
