'''2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane''', also called '''HNIW''', and '''CL-20''', is a ] explosive with the formula C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>6</sub>N<sub>12</sub>O<sub>12</sub>, developed by the ] facility, primarily to be used in ]s.

== History and use ==
While most development of CL-20 has been fielded by the ], the ] (through ]) has also been interested in CL-20 for use in ]s, such as for ], as it has lower observability characteristics (e.g., less visible smoke).<ref></ref>
In the 1980s, CL-20 was developed by the ] facility, primarily to be used in ]s.<ref>{{cite web | last=Kadam | first=Tanmay | title=Pioneered By The US, China 'Racing Ahead' Of Its Arch Rival In 'CL-20' Tech That Propels PLA's Deadly Missiles | website=Eurasian Times | date=2023-03-11 | url=https://eurasiantimes.com/pioneered-by-the-us-china-races-ahead-of-its-arch-rival/}}</ref>

CL-20 has not yet been fielded in any production weapons system, but is presently undergoing testing for stability, production capabilities, and other weapons characteristics.


Thus far, CL-20 has only been used in the ] 300 “kamikaze” drone, but is undergoing testing for use in the Lockheed Martin ]C Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) and AGM-158B Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile-Extended Range (JASSM-ER).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wolfe |first=Frank |date=2023-03-28 |title=CL-20 Used in Switchblade 300, May See Wider Use in JASSM-ER, LRASM, Other Munitions |url=https://www.defensedaily.com/cl-20-used-in-switchblade-300-may-see-wider-use-in-jassm-er-lrasm-other-munitions/advanced-transformational-technology/ |access-date=2024-04-26 |website=Defense Daily |language=en-US}}</ref>
==Synthesis==
It is made from ], ], ], and white fuming ] by combining these chemicals.

The Taiwanese ] innaugerated a CL-20 production facility in 2022 with reported integration into the ] and ] product lines.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Tien-pin |first1=Lo |last2=Chung |first2=Jake |title=Institute develops powerful explosive |url=https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2024/07/06/2003820398 |website=taipeitimes.com |date=6 July 2024 |publisher=Taipei Times |access-date=7 July 2024}}</ref>

== Synthesis ==
]

First, ] ('''1''') is condensed with ] ('''2''') under acidic and dehydrating conditions to yield the first intermediate compound.('''3'''). Four benzyl groups selectively undergo ] using ] and hydrogen. The amino groups are then acetylated during the same step using ] as the solvent. ('''4''').

==Cocrystals==

==Polymeric derivatives==
In 2017, K.P. Katin and M.M. Maslov designed one-dimensional covalent chains based on the CL-20 molecules.<ref name=katin2017>{{cite journal|doi=10.1016/j.jpcs.2017.04.020 | volume=108 | title=Toward CL-20 crystalline covalent solids: On the dependence of energy and electronic properties on the effective size of CL-20 chains | year=2017 | journal=] | pages=82–87 | last1 = Katin | first1 = Konstantin P. | last2 = Maslov | first2 = Mikhail M.| arxiv=1611.08623 | bibcode=2017JPCS..108...82K | s2cid=100118824 }}</ref> Such chains were constructed using {{chem|CH|2}} molecular bridges for the covalent bonding between the isolated CL-20 fragments. It was theoretically predicted that their stability increased with efficient length growth. A year later, M.A. Gimaldinova and colleagues demonstrated the versatility of {{chem|CH|2}} molecular bridges.<ref name=gimaldinova2018>{{cite journal | doi=10.1039/c8ce00763b | volume=20 | issue=30 | title=Electronic and reactivity characteristics of CL-20 covalent chains and networks: a density functional theory study | year=2018 | journal=] | pages=4336–4344 | last1 = Gimaldinova | first1 = Margarita A. | last2 = Maslov | first2 = Mikhail M. | last3 = Katin | first3 = Konstantin P. }}</ref> It is shown that the use of {{chem|CH|2}} bridges is the universal technique to connect both CL-20 fragments in the chain and the chains together to make a network (linear or zigzag). It is confirmed that the increase of the effective sizes and dimensionality of the CL-20 covalent systems leads to their thermodynamic stability growth. Therefore, the formation of CL-20 crystalline covalent solids seems to be energetically favorable, and CL-20 molecules are capable of forming not only molecular crystals but bulk covalent structures as well. Numerical calculations of CL-20 chains and networks' electronic characteristics revealed that they were wide-bandgap semiconductors.<ref name="katin2017" /><ref name="gimaldinova2018" />
