Abstract
A simple and straightforward route for the synthesis of 2,4,6-tris(2,2,2-trinitroethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine (TTET) has been developed. The compound was fully characterized by multinuclear (1H, 13C) magnetic resonance and infrared (IR) spectroscopy, elemental analysis, electron ionization–mass spectrometry, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). TTET was found to have good physical properties, such as good thermal stability (Td = 186°C), reasonable impact sensitivity (21.5 J), and high density (1.88 g · cm−3). Additionally, the detonation properties of TTET obtained with the empirical Kamlet-Jacobs equations identify it as a competitively energetic compound, which in some cases is superior to 1,3,5-Trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine.
