I found this when i did a web search for CL-20 (or maybe for hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane). I found this file, which if you scroll 'till you see some green tables lists quite a few explosives, this being right under CL20. You know anything about this mega?

CP is basically a somewhat new primary explosive to replace lead azide detonator capsules.
2(5-Cyanotetrazole)pentaamminecobalt(III) perchlorate

CAS Number: [70247-32-4]
Acronym: CP
Formula: [C2N5HCo(NH3)5]3ClO4

It is a practical explosive of zero oxygen balance, but much less sensitive to accidental explosion than conventional detonators. Ref.: Loyola, V. M. et al., Chem. Abs., 1981, 95, 222342
