CRYSTALLIZATION OF 4,10-DINITRO-2,6,8,12-TETRAOXA-4,10-DIAZATETRACYCLO5.5.0.0.~(5,9)0~(3,11)DODECANE

摘要

In this paper, the methods of synthesis and crystallization of 4,10-dinitro-2,6,8,12-tetraoxa-4,10-diazatetracyclo[5.5.0.0.~(5,9)0~(3,11)] dodecane (TEX) are presented. The aim of the work was to obtain cubic crystals of TEX. Several solvents for crystallization of TEX were checked. The fuming nitric acid and mixture of dimethylsulfoxide/glycerine as solvents to crystallization were the best. The influence of various parameters on crystallization process was investigated. The particle size distribution and the density for the obtained crystals are presented.
