Abstract

A new series of relatively stable adducts of octahydro‐1,3,5,7‐tetranitro‐1,3,5,7‐tetrazocine (HMX) with derivatives of pyridine‐N‐oxide were prepared. In addition, relative stable new adducts of HMX were prepared with 5‐membered, 6‐membered, and condensed‐ring heterocyclic compounds. Most of the adduct‐forming compounds (AFC's) contain an oxygen and/or nitrogen heteroatom, while several contain a sulfur heteroatom. Most of the adducts are equimolar with HMX; however, several contain 2 moles of AFC per mole of HMX and other ratios of AFC:HMX. Some properties of the new adducts are presented.

## Abstract Various methods of preparation of the different polymorphs of HMX have been evaluated. Infrared and Raman spectra have been used to differentiate the polymorphs and understand their conformational behaviour. Possible conformation of the γ form has been suggested.

The \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\)-uniformly labeled (UL) explosive, octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7tetrazocine (HMX) was synthesized in \(40 \%\) yield by nitrolysis of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\)-labeled hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine) in the presence of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate as catalyst.
