Chemical Reactions and Mechanisms

After 70 years of numerous attempts to determine the structure of the high-energy molecule tetranitromethane, it has become possible to describe the electron and X-ray scattering data of the gas and two solid phases, respectively. In their Communication on page 9619 ff., N. W. Mitzel et al. report a structural analysis of this nightmare of molecular flexibility. The cover picture shows Johann Heinrich Füssli′s “The Nightmare” from 1790, a model of the solid high-temperature phase, and an ignition experiment.
