In my current round of explosive research efforts I have come across many an interesting compound, many of which will find their way onto Rogue Science sooner or later. There are a few explosives, however, that I cannot seem to divine the identity of. Chalk it up to non-standard naming, the compounds being very rare literature wise, or maybe I am just not looking hard enough.
This short list of explosives are some of the names for which I come up empty in the literature. They are, if I recall, all from either the BATF list and/or the European list of regulated materials and/or the list of energetic for the Chemical Weapons Convention. Almost certainly these names came from some fedgov document, which tells me two things:
A. If the fedgov took the time to regulate this explosive, then surely someone is making/using/shipping it right?
B. These names only appear on fedgov lists, which means some technical writer, assistant to the traveling undersecretary so-and-so, who has only seen a laboratory on TV, wrote these names. He probably wrote them wrong.
If anyone can help divine the names of these, I would greatly appreciate it. Some structures would be helpful because I can run a structure search on them. A referenced article that I can cross check could provide a clue as to the compounds identity. Some additional synonyms might get me closer too.
Here is the list:
BDNTA
[bis-dinitrotriazole]amine
BDTNTA
[Bis-dinitrotriazole]amine
DDFP
1,4-dinitrodifurazanopiperazine
FAMAO
3-difluoroaminomethyl-3-azidomethyl oxetane
FPF-3
poly-2,4,4,5,5,6,6-heptafluoro-2-tri-fluoromethyl-3-oxaheptane-1,7-diol formal
NTAT
nitrotriazol aminotetrazole
NTDNIA
N-(2-nitrotriazolo)-2,4-dinitroimidazole
NTDNT
1-N-(2-nitrotriazolo) 3,5-dinitrotriazole
NTNMH
1-(2-nitrotriazolo)-2-dinitromethylene hydrazine
NTNT
1-N-(2-nitrotriazolo)-4-nitrotetrazole
PDNT
1-picryl-3,5-dinitrotriazole
PTIA
1-picryl-2,4,5-trinitroimidazole
TEDDZ
3,3,7,7-tetrabis(difluoroamine) octahydro-1,5-dinitro-1,5diazocine
The list order is the acronym followed by the chemical name for that acronym.
Actually what I am really after are CAS numbers for these compounds. I find those, and it unlocks everything I need to get synthesis info on these explosives.
