2,2-Dinitroethene-1,1-diamine (FOX-7) is a recently developed and broadly tested energetic material with high efficiency and low sensitivity. Generally, explosion is based on thermally initiated chain of intramolecular redox reactions. Recently it has been found that electrochemical reduction in aqueous solutions is also able to provoke the chain of follow-up processes leading to total decomposition of the parent substance yielding gaseous products analogously like during explosion. Similarly, results from reductive electrolysis of FOX-7 in aprotic solvents show analogous course of degradation. The first transferred electron activates the molecule and initiated the formation of colored radical intermediates that have been spectroscopically characterized
