Abstract
In this paper, the discovery and synthesis of the explosive 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethene (FOX-7) are described, together with an account of its structural, spectroscopic, and explosive properties. The chemical reactivity of FOX-7 towards nucleophilic substitution (transamination), electrophilic substitution, and acid-base properties is explored, as is its thermal behavior (phase transformations and thermal decomposition). The molecular structure and physical properties of FOX-7 are compared with those of its three isomers (as yet unsynthesized), as derived by theoretical calculations. Finally, the physical properties of FOX-7 are compared to those of various energetic molecules that are structurally related to FOX-7.
