1,3,3-Trinitroazetidine (TNAZ) is a highly energetic heterocyclic compound that has been considered as a potential replacement for TNT because of its low melting point (101 °C) and good temperature stability (up to 240 ° C). TNAZ was first synthesized by Archibald et al. in 1983 in work published in 1990.^[3] Several synthesis routes are known and bulk production of several hundred kilogram batches has been demonstrated at Los Alamos National Laboratory.^[4]^[1]^[5]

Properties

TNAZ forms pale yellow crystals with a melting point of 101 °C. The compound crystallizes in an orthorhombic lattice with the space group Pbca. Thermolysis occurs starting around 240 °C - 250 °C with decomposition products that include nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide, nitrous acid, carbon dioxide and formaldehyde. As far as energetic properties, it is roughly 30% more energetic than TNT and has a heat of explosion of ~6343 kJ/kg, a detonation velocity of ~9000 m/s, and a detonation pressure of 36.4 GPa.^[6]
