ResumoMore powerful and less shock-sensitive explosives are continually being sought for both military and commercial use. Here the qualities a potential candidate must possess to make a good explosive are detailed, and the synthesis of octanitrocubane—a very promising candidate—is described. The physical properties of the nitrocubanes synthesized are also summarized and a proposal for the future is made.
