Electrochemical and spectrometric study of FOX-7 in aprotic solvents
Šimková, Ludmila ; Ludvík, Jiří ; Klíma, Jiří
2,2-Dinitroethene-1,1-diamine (FOX-7) is a recently developed and broadly tested energetic material with high efficiency and low sensitivity. Generally, explosion is based on thermally initiated chain of intramolecular redox reactions. Recently it has been found that electrochemical reduction in aqueous solutions is also able to provoke the chain of follow-up processes leading to total decomposition of the parent substance yielding gaseous products analogously like during explosion. Similarly, results from reductive electrolysis of FOX-7 in aprotic solvents show analogous course of degradation. The first transferred electron activates the molecule and initiated the formation of colored radical intermediates that have been spectroscopically characterized

Strange Redox Behavior of 1,1-Diamino-2,2-dinitroethene
Šimková, Ludmila ; Ludvík, Jiří ; Klíma, Jiří
The expected product of polarographic reduction of 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethene (FOX-7) in aqueous buffered solutions is ethan-1,2-diamine. But exhaustive electrolysis did not show this product. The main products are gases. Due to combination of electrochemistry and GC and with MS analysis were found following gaseous products: N-2, NO, N2O, H2O. However, no carbon containing gaseous product was found. A part of products remains probably in the water solution as inorganic ions. The degradation process accompanying the exhaustive electrolysis seems to be analogous to the reactions during explosion, but under very low concentration, cooled and slowed down by the solvent.
