Recent developments in the synthesis of hexanitroethane (HNE) have renewed interest in its use as a possible high energy oxidizer. The chemical reactivity and the physical properties of hexanitroethane have been extensively studied and are presented in this report. Hexanitroethane is a solid, high energy oxidant, melting at about 150°C and containing 92% NC>2, by weight. It has a crystalline density of 2.25 g/cm and a vapor pressure of 0.5 mm Hg at 25°C. The heat of formation of hexanitroethane was determined to be +28 kcal/mole.
