4,4'-Dinitro-3,3'-diazenofuroxan
Encyclopedia
4,4’-Dinitro-3,3’-diazenofuroxan (DDF) is a powerful experimental high explosive with performance comparable to that of other high-density high-explosives such as octanitrocubane
. It is synthesised by oxidative coupling
of 4-amino-3-(azidocarbonyl)furoxan
followed by Curtis rearrangement and further oxidation.
Octanitrocubane
Octanitrocubane is a high explosive that, like TNT, is shock-insensitive , not detonating even when struck by a hammer...

Furoxan
Furoxan or 1,2,5-oxadiazole 2-oxide is a heterocycle of the isoxazole family and an amine oxide derivative of furazan. It is a nitric oxide donor. As such, furoxan and its derivatives are actively researched as potential new drugs and insensitive high density explosives.Furoxanes can be formed by...
