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.
