Energetic cocrystallization is thriving now and presents a promising perspective to create new energetic materials (EMs). In comparison with the single-component EMs, creation of cocrystals exhibits greater significance crystal engineering, whose central scientific issue intermolecular interaction. This article reviews current progress in studying interactions molecular (EMCCs), as well stacking thermodynamics for EMCC formation. The include hydrogen bonding (HB), π interactions, halogen bonding. strength these found be generally weak, similar that crystals. By means cocrystallization, can improved prone layered stacking, facilitating low impact sensitivity. could feasible alleviating energy–safety contradiction EMs. driving force formation thought increase entropy, because EMCCs are nature products an randomness, small variation original pure components. Finally, dependence properties on compositions structures components proposed attract increasing attention, it base creating EMs tunable compositions, structures, by way engineering.

Crystal engineering is a highly efficient way to create new materials with the desired properties. Energetic cocrystallization has been thriving for ∼10 years since appearance of series TNT-based energetic cocrystals (ECCs). ECCs serve as one important aspect crystal (EMs). This article presents brief overview regarding component, intermolecular interaction, packing structure, main properties, and preparation, well theoretical treatment some issues raised future development. In most cases, properties an ECC are each moderated between those pure components, setting basis tuning by existing molecules, instead synthesizing molecules; meanwhile, there also exceptions, such higher density, detonation or lower impact sensitivity in comparison both components. These exceptions mutated will expand EMs. Generally, currently staying at primary stage, much effort being required solve urgent issues, property evaluation, large-scale fabrication, applications. Still, promising alternative EMs after all, it huge challenge synthesize satisfactory molecule.

The development of energetic cocrystals currently faces a significant challenge in effectively screening cocrystals. In this study, simple and effective method was utilized to evaluate the possibility cocrystal formation between CL-20 (2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane) azole isomers. This combined molecular similarity with hydrogen bonding pairing energy. As result, two novel cocrystals, namely, (1) 1:2 CL-20/3,4-MDNP (1-methyl-3,4-dinitropyrazole) (2) 2:1 CL-20/3,5-MDNP (1-methyl-3,5-dinitropyrazole), were successfully prepared through solvent evaporation. It is worth noting that 2 exhibits desirable safety detonation properties, making it potential high-energy insensitive explosive substitute for RDX (1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane). Additionally, work provides feasible rapidly simultaneously offers further insights into design mechanism

The present review focuses on energetic−energetic four CL20, HMX, BCHMX, RDX, structural aspects these cocrystals, their influence thermochemical detonation properties. Cocrystallization has proven be crystal engineering technique achieve safety morphological suitability cocrystals (EECCs). Overall, in most cases, impact sensitivities EECCs are decreased, this is phenomenal change; however, needed adjust with properties slightly, negligible if coformer (EMs) properly chosen. There other notable variations morphologies packing crystals, including key such as relatively high density melting point. These changes occur due binding energy, trigger bond length, cohesive energy during cocrystallization. Researchers highly focused nitramines; earlier reported methods lacking selectivity scalability. When comes adoption industrial scale production EECCs, more difficult. We conducted thorough literature survey. Also we discussed about recently developed VPSZ coagglomeration method, which provides huge opportunity tune performance existing easy up level.
