Irreconcilable differences: Electron‐rich diacetone diperoxide is paired with the electron‐deficient rings of trichloro‐ and tribromotrinitrobenzene to form energetic cocrystals by design. Though the two cocrystals are isostructural, the former is very stable while the later exhibits a rare metastability and favors separation.
