The results of isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) on hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD) and its precursor hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine) is presented. HMTD was prepared from hexamine using several different sources of hexamine under both controlled laboratory conditions and in field experiments that represent the less controlled conditions that are likely to be observed in forensic casework scenarios. Precursor and product carbon isotope δ values consistently fit a linear relationship regardless of precursor or conditions. The magnitude of the isotope fractionation observed is affected by the efficiency of the reaction, with greater yielding reactions giving rise to HMTD with δ values more similar to the precursor material than lower yielding reactions. Nitrogen isotope δ values comparing precursor with product show some linearity when the reaction conditions are carefully controlled; however, results indicate a poor fit with linearity when synthesis conditions are more variable. Despite the greater variation, the HMTD product consistently has a more positive δ value compared with the hexamine precursor. The results observed from these experiments suggest hexamine reacts to form HMTD in a 1:1 ratio. Having prepared multiple HMTD samples from various precursors using a range of experimental conditions, we have observed results that may be useful in forensic investigations of improvised explosive materials.
