Understanding intermolecular interactions is fundamental to understanding the molecular stacking structures and some properties of energetic crystals, such as density, energy, mechanics, sensitivity. The Hirshfeld surface method a straightforward tool reveal nowadays has become increasingly popular in field materials. This article highlights wide range applications this describing including hydrogen bonding, π-stacking, halogen lone pair−π (n−π) stacking, patterns, predicting shear sliding...
A gem-dinitromethyl group was successfully introduced into the TNBI·2H2O structure (TNBI: 4,4′,5,5′-tetranitro-2,2′-bi-1H-imidazole) to obtain 1-(dinitromethyl)-4,4′,5,5′-tetranitro-1H,1′H-2,2′-biimidazole (DNM-TNBI). Benefiting from transformation of an N-H proton a group, current limitations TNBI were well solved. More importantly, DNM-TNBI has high density (1.92 g·cm–3, 298 K), good oxygen balance (15.3%), and excellent detonation properties (Dv = 9102 m·s–1, P 37.6 GPa), suggesting that...
Polymorphism is universal in energetic crystals and brings much complexity revealing the underlying mechanism for materials against external stimuli. This work comprehensively studies molecular conformers (MCs), stacking, related MC energy (MCE) lattice (LE) of polymorphs six common (EMs), including 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20), 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane (HMX), 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX), 2,2-dinitroethylene-1,1-diamine (FOX-7),...
The CL-20-based cocrystals (CCCs) are now the most active in field of energetic cocrystals, due to an advantage high energy density while a disadvantage low stability CL-20, which may be tuned with desired structures and properties by cocrystallization. This work presents comprehensive insight into packing 27 CCCs observed since 2017. First, it shows multiplicity coformer molecules various shapes sizes. Regarding conformers, β-, γ-, η-, ε-, ζ-forms appear CCCs, total above that CL-20...
n−π stacking refers to the molecular through lone-pair electron (n)-π-structure interaction. As an important mode supplementary hydrogen bonding (HB) and π–π stacking, which are usually dominant in intermolecular interaction, it has generally been ignored energetic crystals. This work extracts typical stacked single-component crystals cocrystals from CSD categorizes them into three forms, including contacts of NO2 benzene ring, heterocycle, furazan ring–furazan ring. The nature weak...
Polymorphism is universal in organic crystals like conventional energetic materials (EMs), and it may cause a difference thermal stability, one of the most important properties EMs. Nevertheless, deep insights into differences polymorphic EMs are lacking. 2,4,6,8,10,12-Hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) powerful EM commercialized already possesses three polymorphs stabilized at common condition, which exhibit many performances. However, underlying mechanism responsible for...
