Tetrazocines, octahydro

Monteil-Rivera F, L Paquet, A Halasz, MT Montgomery, J Hawari (2005) Reduction of octahydro-l,3,5,7-tetra-nitro-l,3,5,7-tetrazocine by zero-valent iron product distribution. Environ Sci Technol 39 9725-9731. 

Reed Canary Grass Phalaris arundinacea) was grown in liquid culture and exposed to RDX that was metabolized to the potentially toxic 4-nitro-2,4-diazabutanal (Just and Schnoor 2004). This metabolite is also produced from RDX by strains of Rhodococcus sp. and from the homologous octahydro-l,3,5,7-tetranitro-l,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) by Phanerochaete chrysosporium.

These are common abbreviations for the following TNT 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene AN ammonium nitrate PETN pentaerythritol tetranitrate HMX octahydro-l,3,5,7,-tetranitro-l,3,4,5-tetrazocine RDX hexahydro-l,3,5-trinitro-s-triazine HMTD hexamethylene triperoxide diamine TATP triacetone triperoxide. 

Melting explosive octahydro-l,3,5.7-tetranitro-l,3,5,7-tetrazocine) and i N-dimethylhydrazine. These compounds are sometimes present at quite high levels in soils and groundwater on military bases and production sites. Bioremediation is a promising new technology for treating sites contaminated with such compounds. 

The high explosive octahydro-l,3,5,7-tetranitro-l,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX, Fig. 1) is the energetic material in a number of high performance military explosive and propellant formulations [3], HMX exhibits three crystal polymorphs at ambient pressure denoted J3- [4,5], a- [6], and <5-FlMX [7] and listed in terms of stability with increasing temperature. At temperature T 550 K the crystalline structure become unstable and HMX begins to melt. The liquid phase of HMX is very unstable and therefore no direct measurements of...
