FOX-7 (1,1-Diamino-2,2-dinitroethene)

Fabrication of FOX-7 quasi-three-dimensional grids of one-dimensional nanostructures via a spray freeze-drying technique and size-dependence of thermal properties

“…Up to now, most of the researches have focused on the theoretical calculation, structural properties, improvement of synthesis routes, and study of thermolysis and sensitivity of FOX-7 microparticles [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], while few studies on FOX-7 nanostructures. However, similar to other inorganic nanostructures and organic nanostructures, energetic materials also exhibit some size-dependent properties, such as sensitivity, thermal stability, operational performance, and so on.…”

1,1-Diamino-2,2-dinitroethene (DADNE, FOX-7) – Properties and Formulations (a Review)

“…The Raman spectrum of solid FOX-7 was shown in [23]. A mass spectroscopic study was reported in [33].…”

“…Its detonation performance is comparable to that of RDX. This is why FOX-7 is an attractive alternative to RDX [23].…”

“…For these reasons FOX-7 has appeared to be very useful for systems in which its insensitivity is more important than maximum performance. Routes for the synthesis of FOX-7, together with its structural, spectroscopic, and explosive properties have been comprehensively reviewed by Bellamy [23].…”

Scalable Synthesis of 1,1-Diamino-2,2-dinitroethene Without Hazardous Intermediates or by-Products

“…It has since attracted the interest of the research society for its high potential in diverse applications. Its performance as an explosive is comparable to 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX), but its sensitivity to mechanical stimuli, and thus to involuntary detonation, is markedly lower [2,3]. This makes it attractive, as the low sensitivity of energetic materials will reduce the risk of serious and fatal accidents in connection with explosives.…”
