Energetic compouds based on furoxan ether were a type of important energetic materials with lower melting point, good energy and excellent plasticity.Since 1990s, the type of energetic compounds had been an important research direction in the synthetic fields of energetic materials.In this paper, the synthetic methods of symmetrical and unsymmetrical energetic compouds based on furoxan ether were reviewed.Some representative energetic compounds,such as FOF-1,FOF-2,FOF-11 and FOF-13, were reviewed, and their syntheses, performances and application were introduced in detail.The structures of 11 novel energetic compouds based on furoxan ether was designed in the first, and their physico-chemical, detonating performances were calculated by B3LYP/6-31G method, and the results show that there are three designed compounds which calculated densities exceed 1.90g/cm2 , and theoretical detonation velocities are more than 9000rn/s.
