Abstract: | The title compound (systematic name: 4,10‐dinitro‐2,6,8,12‐tetraoxa‐4,10‐diazatetracyclo5.5.0.03,11.05,9]dodecane), C6H6N4O8, exhibits the highest density among known N‐nitramines, due to its close‐packed crystal structure. It may be regarded as consisting of a distorted hexagonal close‐packed lattice formed by the isowurtzitane cages, with the nitro groups occupying the free space between the cages. |
