New conformer of 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20). Crystal and molecular structures of the CL-20 solvate with glyceryl triacetate

Abstract

Crystallization of CL-20 in different plasticizers (gyceryl triacetate and diethyleneglycol dinitrate) was studied. IR spectra of the crystals obtained under various conditions, as a rule, do not correspond to the spectra of known modifications. Crystal and molecular structures of the CL-20 solvate with glyceryl triacetate were studied. A new stable conformer of the CL-20 molecule was discovered.
