Two polymorphic hydrogen peroxide solvates of 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20; wurtzitane is an alternative name to iceane) were obtained using hydrated α-CL-20 as a guide. These novel H2 O2 have high crystallographic densities (1.96 and 2.03 g cm-3 , respectively), predicted detonation velocities/pressures (with one solvate performing better than ϵ-CL-20), sensitivity similar that ϵ-CL-20. The use materials guide will be important in the development other energetic with peroxide. represent area has yet explored.
