One approach is the synthesis of high-nitrogen, high-oxygen explosives, which show promising detonation parameters. In this paper, we present a selection of the most promising candidates investigated in the last several years: the neutral compounds, N3,N6-bis-(2,2,2-trinitroethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrazine-3,6-diamine (BiTNEAT) and bistetrazolylamine (H2BTA), and the two promising ionic compounds, triaminoguanidinium dinitramide (TAG-DN) and triaminoguanidinium 1-methyl-5-nitriminotet-razolate (TAG-1-MeAtNO2. Also, two very high explosives, 5-nitriminotetrazole (H2AtNO2) and 5-aminotetrazolium dinitramide, are mentioned. %8 2012-03-01
