Explosives under pressure—the crystal structure of
-RDX as determined by high-pressure X-ray and neutron diffractionAlistair J. Davidson, Iain D. H. Oswald, Duncan J. Francis, Alistair R. Lennie, William G. Marshall, David I. A. Millar, Colin R. Pulham, John E. Warren and Adam S. Cumming
Using a combination of X-ray single crystal and neutron powder diffraction, the crystal structure of the high-pressure
-form of RDX has been determined at 5.2 GPa and shows that the RDX molecules adopt different conformations compared to the conformation found in the ambient-pressure
-form.
