Abstract
The explosive properties of a mixture of benzotrifuroxane and anthracene in the form of a molecular complex (mixing of the components at the molecular level) and a mechanical mixture with the same molar ratio of the components are investigated. It is found that the molecular complex is an individual explosive with modified properties.
