The pressure–temperature (P–T) phase diagram of 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene (FOX-7) was determined by in situ synchrotron infrared radiation spectroscopy with the resistively heated diamond anvil cell (DAC) technique. The stability of high-P–T FOX-7 polymorphs is established from ambient pressure up to 10 GPa and temperatures until decomposition. The phase diagram indicates two near isobaric phase boundaries at ~2 GPa (α → I) and ~5 GPa (I → II) that persists from 25 °C until the onset of decomposition at ~300 °C. In addition, the ambient pressure, high-temperature α → β phase transition (~111 °C) lies along a steep boundary (~100 °C/GPa) with a α–β–δ triple point at ~1 GPa and 300 °C. A 0.9 GPa isobaric temperature ramping measurement indicates a limited stability range for the γ-phase between 0.5 and 0.9 GPa and 180 and 260 °C, terminating in a β–γ–δ triple point. With increasing pressure, the δ-phase exhibited a small negative dT/dP slope (up to ~0.2 GPa) before turning over to a positive 70 °C/GPa slope, at higher pressures. The decomposition boundary (~55 °C/GPa) was identified through the emergence of spectroscopic signatures of the characteristic decomposition products as well as trapped inclusions within the solid KBr pressure media.
