Notes:
The heat of detonation of an explosive is determined by its chemical structure and the nature of the products that are formed during detonation. Most explosives contain the elements CHNO and, because plastic bonded explosives often include stable halocarbon polymers, the elements fluorine and/or chlorine may also be present. However, little is known about the effect of the combination of fluorine and sulfur on heat of detonation, specifically the SF5 group. Detonation calorimetry was the experimental technique used to determine the heat and very unusual products of detonation of tris-(fluorodinitroethyl) pentafluorothio ethylorthocarbonate.
