N-(arylmethylene)-benzimidazole/imidazole-borane compounds (7-10) based on ferrocene/benzene were synthesized in a cost-effective way by reacting N-(arylmethylene)-benzimidazole/imidazoles with ammonium sulfate ((NH₄)₂SO₄) and sodium borohydride (NaBH₄). The structures of compounds 7-9 were determined by X-ray crystallography. Four compounds displayed high thermal decomposition temperatures (182-256°C) according to the thermogravimetry (TG) measurements. Interestingly, these compounds showed promising applications as potential propellant due to their spontaneous combustion upon contact concentrated HNO₃ (≥ 95 %) and catalytic effect on the thermal degradation of ammonium perchlorate (AP).

通过使N-（芳基亚甲基）-苯并咪唑/咪唑与硫酸铵（（NH ₄）₂）反应以具有成本效益的方式合成基于二茂铁/苯的N-（芳亚甲基）-苯并咪唑/咪唑-硼烷化合物（7-10） SO ₄）和硼氢化钠（NaBH ₄）。化合物7-9的结构通过X射线晶体学测定。根据热重（TG）测量，四种化合物显示出高的热分解温度（182-256°C）。有趣的是，这些化合物由于在接触浓HNO ₃时自燃，因此显示出潜在的推进剂应用潜力。 （≥95％）和对高氯酸铵（AP）热降解的催化作用。
