Abstract:Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) and hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD) are cyclic peroxides that exhibit atropisomerism resulting from restricted rotation around three peroxide bonds. As a result, one pair of enantiomers with D 3 symmetry and another pair of enantiomers with C 2 symmetry can be identified. Previous studies, based on mass spectrometry data and computational results, have shown that conformations of TATP with D 3 and C 2 symmetry can be isolated. Assuming that enantiomer samples of TATP and … Show more
