Sand won't save you this time (2008)

I particularly like the quote "It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers.." (hypergolic means it ignites spontaneously upon mixing)

If you read the reference I shared you’ll see that some maniacs reacted chlorine trifluoride with dioxygen difluoride.

High energy chemistry is nifty.

No FOOF that I saw listed though.

Then there's this set of three articles in this series:

"Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane": "I’d call for all the chemists who’ve ever worked with a hexanitro compound to raise their hands, but that might be assuming too much about the limb-to-chemist ratio."

"Peroxide Peroxides": "There are a lot of things, unfortunately, that can lead to peroxide decomposition – all sorts of metal contaminants, light, spitting at them (most likely), and it doesn’t take much."

And then, the punch line, where our hexanitro compound above gets some extra oomph: "What This Here Compound Needs is Some Hydrogen Peroxide." "So I have to congratulate these folks; they’ve managed to combine two of my Things I Won’t Work With entries into the same flippin’ substance."

Thanks!
