Abstract:

This report describes the synthesis of 2,2,2,2,4,4,4,4,6, 6,6,6- dodecanitro quaterphenyl, DODECA. Vacuum stability and impact sensitivity tests indicate that this compound is a potentially useful heat resistant explosive suitable for use in mild detonating fuses, MDF, flexible linear shaped charges, FLSC, and other heat resistant cutting devices. The compound is a member of the polynitropolyphenyls derived from 1,3,5- trinitrobenzene.
