Abstract
AbstractThe novel high‐performance energetic material 4,4,8,8‐tetranitroadamantane‐2,6‐diyl dinitrate has been synthesized and fully characterized. The synthetic strategy features the construction of the adamantane skeleton with different functional groups at adjacent methylene carbon atoms to overcome the problems associated with the ortho effect and steric crowding, and is amenable to the synthesis of other polynitroadamantanes. The experimentally determined physical properties as well as the calculated detonation properties indicate that this compound exhibits high thermal stability (220 °C), high density (1.852 g cm–3), and excellent detonation velocities (8529 m s–1) and pressures (33.43 GPa).
