Abstract: The molecular and crystal structure of a cocrystal energetic material (ethylenediamine triethylenediamine tetraperchlorate) is determined by means of the x-ray diffraction analysis. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system of the Cmc21 space group with cell dimensions $a$ = 8.1030 $\pm$ 0.0016 $\mathring{\mathrm{A}}$, $b$ = 24.725 $\pm$ 0.005 $\mathring{\mathrm{A}}$, $c$ = 10.195 $\pm$ 0.002 $\mathring{\mathrm{A}}$. The thermal decomposition mechanism of the title compound is studied by applying the Kissinger’s and Ozawa’s methods. Sensitivity tests reveal that the title compound has a sensitive nature.

Keywords: cocrystal, crystal structure, perchlorate amine.
