The transformation of carbon monoxide (CO) from a molecular liquid to a polymeric solid under isothermal compression at room temperature is investigated using first principles theory. We report structural and thermodynamic properties from ambient density up to 2.45 g/cc obtained using density functional theory molecular dynamics simulations, including hybrid exchange corrections. The theoretical results are compared with newly obtained polymeric CO samples, synthesized in a large volume press. The explosive performance of polymeric CO is predicted and discussed. Under most favorable assumptions, it is found to be comparable to trinitrotoluene.
