title: Hepta- and Octanitrocubanes.
abstract: Four of the eight nitro groups of octanitrocubane 1 are introduced by functional group modification, three more by the astonishingly rapid, low-temperature N(2)O(4) nitration of sequentially formed polynitrocubyl anions, and the eighth and last by nitrosation of the heptanitrocubyl anion followed by ozonation.
