ε-HNIW was synthesized by one-pot nitrolysis of 2, 6, 8,12-tetraacetyl-2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12-hexaazatetracyclo[5, 5, 0, 03,11,05,9]dodecane (TAIW) with N2O5/HNO3 as the nitrating agent, which overcame the drawbacks of mix acid-nitrolysis and two step-crystal transformation. Structure and crystal form of ε-HNIW were characterized by NMR, MS and XRD. Yield of ε-HNIW is 82.72%, and its purity is 98.24%. By the use of new nitrating agent, the reaction eliminated the use of concentrated sulfuric acid and was ecofriendly. Moreover, ε-HNIW was directly transformed in the solution. The simplified process route shows good prospect in industry.
