Abstract
Potassium 4,5‐bis(dinitromethyl)furoxanate was synthesized readily from cyanoacetic acid. It was characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the structure was confirmed by X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction. Its positive oxygen balance, high density (2.130 g cm−3), sensitivity (IS=2 J, FS=5 N), and calculated heat of formation (−421.0 kJ mol−1), combined with its calculated superior detonation performance (D=7759.0 m s−1, P=27.3 GPa), make it a competitive replacement as a green primary explosive.Keywords
