Abstract
After carefully analyzing the Kamlet–Jacobs (K–J) equations and the structural traits of well-known explosives, hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazin (RDX), octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), and hexanitrohexaazaisowurtizitane (CL-20), diverse nitramine explosives including linear (Models IAn, IBn, and ICn), cyclic (Model IIn), and caged (Models IIIAn and IIIBn) molecules were designed by incorporating various number (n) of −CH2NNO2– structural unit and studied using the B3LYP/6-31G* and B3PW91/6-31G** methods of the density functional theory. Computational results show that all of the energetic parameters, that is, density (ρ), detonation velocity (D), and detonation pressure (P), follow the order of IIIBn > IIIAn > IIn > IAn > IBn > ICn. With the increasing n, the D and P of linear nitramines eventually keep stable. This clearly indicates that elongating the chain length (e.g., polymerization) brings little or even negative benefit in boosting the explosive properties. The oxygen balance and the K–J equation parameter ϕ both have a significant influence on the detonation properties. Caged compound IIIA2 has not only comparable energetic properties but also better sensitivity and thermal stability than CL-20.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
