Pentaerythrol tetranitrate

In contrast to other crystaUine nitrates, pentaerythrol tetranitrate (PETN C Hg(0N02)4) is a crystalline nitrate ester similar to NG and NC. Though PETN is one of the most powerful energetic materials used in explosives, no excess oxidizer fragments are formed when it decomposes. Thus, PETN is not used as an oxidizer of propellants. [Pg.74]
