Novel dinitromethyl-featured polynitro energetic salts

An unique and facile method was developed to synthesize a new class of energetic salts based on 2-amino-1,1,5,5-tetranitro-4-oxo-3-aza-pentene (ATNP) anion in one-pot reaction. These salts exhibited promising detonation performances (detonation pressure: 28.6 to 34.3 GPa; detonation velocity: 8037 to 8674 m s⁻¹) which were comparable to those of RDX.
