Abstract: Six models of cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine (HMX)/1,1-diamino-2.2-dinitroethylene(FOX-7) co-crystal were constructed based on the main growth faces of HMX crystal and the hydrogen bond rules of co-crystal formation. The probability of HMX/FOX-7 co-crystal formation was investigated using the molecular dynamics (MD) method. The distributions of bond length, angle, and dihedral angle were calculated during MD. As a result, a serious distortion was observed. The radical distribution function (RDF) was used to study the acting force between oxygen atoms in HMX and hydrogen atoms in FOX-7 or hydrogen atoms in HMX and oxygen atoms in FOX-7, which indicates that there are strong hydrogen bonds and Van Der Waals forces between HMX and FOX-7. Binding energies and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were calculated on the basis of the final HMX/FOX-7 co-crystal structure. The results show that the orders of binding energies of the six co-crystal models are Eb(020)>Eb(100)>Eb(randomness)>Eb(111 )>Eb (102 )>Eb(011), and the XRD peaks of six co-crystal models are quite different from pure HMX or FOX-7. In view of the research on crystal growth morphology, binding energy and RDF, the model of HMX molecular substituted by FOX-7 on the surface (111 ) of HMX is more liable to form.
