The highest VOD known to me is Octanitrocubane molecular formula: C8(NO2)8) at roughly 10,100 meters per second- however, it is at lab stage, and not in production. CL-20 is in limited production for research, with a VOD of 9,400 m/s. In broad production and use, PETN, used in detonating cord, has a VOD of 8,400 m/s. While VOD is an indicator of brissance (shattering effect) it does not always designate the highest energy per gram of explosive.
