Abstract

The high‐pressure behavior of bis(nitroxymethylisoxazolyl) furoxan (DNDIF) was studied at ambient temperature and pressures approaching 30 GPa by Raman spectroscopy and powder X‐ray diffraction. There was no evidence of a phase change observed over this pressure range, indicating that the ambient structure of DNDIF remains stable up to conditions similar to the detonation pressure of the material. Such findings suggest that this melt‐castable explosive may be used in the replacement of 2,4,6‐trinitrotoluene (TNT) in energetic formulations without the concern of uncontrolled polymorphism that might otherwise affect the performance and safety of the munition. Additionally, empirical understanding of the effect of different structural motifs in the crystal packing builds on understanding of what macroscale features are desirable for future materials and gets us closer to the design of future novel energetics.
