L-178 Insensitive Explosive Materials: VIII - 1,1-Diamino-2,2 Dinitroethylene, DADNE

This report summarizes theoretical and experimental data on the insensitive explosive 1,1-Diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene, DADNE, FOX-7, C2H4N4O4.
This report will exclusively summarize findings reported after 2007.
For an unbiased introduction to DADNE synthesis and properties the reader is referred to the papers by Bellamy (2007)[6], Lochert (2001)[5] and Dorsett (2000)[4].
The title compound offers high density, r = 1.907 g cm^-3. Its ARC-onset = 225°C. DADNE is about as powerful as RDX although its Gurney energy is lower. It has a calculated detonation velocity at TMD of 8965 m s^-1 and a detonation pressure of 35.11 GPa. The detonation temperature is 3549 K. DADNE is currently explored for insensitive booster charges. 43 references gathered from the public domain are given.
