Stereoisomers found to exhibit substantial differences in density, stability and detonation performance
Stereochemistry can be used to tune the density and detonation performance of cage-like energetic materials, new research shows. This research on three-dimensional structures builds on a small body of work on two-dimensional materials questioning previous assumptions that isomeric variations have little impact on energetic parameters.
