Abstract
The synthesis and crystal structure of the heterocyclic explosive bis(nitroxymethylisoxazolyl) furoxan, C10H6N6O10, are described. In addition, we report its physical properties and theoretical performance. This material was found to exhibit standalone melt-castable explosive properties, with a melting point of 89.8 °C and an onset decomposition temperature of 193.8 °C. Bis(nitroxymethylisoxazolyl) furoxan features an insensitive behavior to impact, friction, and electrostatic discharge, with a calculated detonation pressure about 25 % higher than the state-of-the-art melt-castable explosive TNT.
