4,4’-Dinitro-3,3’-diazenofuroxan (DDF) is a powerful experimental
high explosive
An explosive (or explosive material) is a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential energy that can produce an explosion if released suddenly, usually accompanied by the production of light, heat, sound, and pressure. An ...
with performance comparable to that of other high-density high-explosives such as
octanitrocubane. It is synthesised by oxidative coupling of 4-amino-3-(azidocarbonyl)
furoxan followed by Curtius rearrangement and further oxidation.

HHTDD (hexanitrohexaazatricyclododecanedione) is a powerful but moisture sensitive explosive compound. It is essentially an open analogue of the cyclic nitroamine cage compounds such as CL-20. While it is highly explosive, with a velocity of deto ...
