Abstract

A self-consistent charge density-functional tight-binding method combined with molecular dynamics simulations is employed to reveal the effect of polymorph on the thermal decomposition stability of 1,1-Diamino-2,2-Dinitroethylene (FOX-7). Two types of heating, constant temperature heating and temperature-programmed heating, are adopted. Potential evolution indicates that γ-FOX-7 possesses the lowest thermal stability, as it is closer to the decomposition state. Crystal form has an important influence on the thermal decomposition of FOX-7, resulting in different decomposition rates and initial reactions. In general, β- and γ-FOX-7 always decompose more completely than α-FOX-7. This work emphases the importance of polymorph dependent initial decay of an energetic polymorphic compound once heated in a volume constrained condition.
