Abstract

A novel ternary energetic cocrystal composed of 3,4-diaminofurazan (DAF), 3,4-dinitropyrazole (DNP), and H2O in a 1:1:1 stoichiometry with low impact sensitivity is reported. This cocrystal has a predicted detonation velocity higher than DAF and TNT. Preliminary attempts are reported to obtain the even more energetic cocrystals DAF/DNP and DAF/DNP/H2O2. For the latter, an original approach based on the urea/H2O2 cocrystal as a source of H2O2 is described.
