3- Amino-6-nitroamino-tetrazine ANAT

New high-nitrogen materials with 3-amino-6-nitroamino-tetrazine (ANAT) as the anion have been synthesized and their properties studied <06CC4007>. 

The synthesis and properties of several high-nitrogen materials with 3-amino-6-nitroamino-tetrazine (ANAT) as the anion are reported (Scheme 23). These salts (99, 100, 103a,b) provide a new and easy approach to highly energetic salts. All these salts are relatively dense (> 1.55 g/cm ) and exhibit good thermal stability T > 148 C). The calculated detonation velocities and detonation pressures are comparable to those of explosives such as Tetryl, PETN, TATB, and RDX. A combination of theoretical and empirical calculations shows that all these salts have high molar enthalpies of formation (Table 9) [99].
