Abstract

A novel halogen-containing energetic compound, BFMT, was designed and synthesized. It exhibits an unprecedented crystal density of 2.03 g·cm–3, a suitable melting point (110 °C), and high thermostability (Td: 335 °C), setting a new benchmark for melt-cast energetic materials while also showing a high ability to react with aluminum powders in melt-cast explosive formulations.
