Triaminoguanidine

In the 1,2,3-triaminoguanidine (CHsNg)7 one C—N bond is particularly short (1.292 A) while all other bond distances are comparable to the typical lengths of the C—N and N—N single bond distances. The structure consists of sheets of TAG oriented in the direction along the direction of the b axis and held together by molecular forces and hydrogen bonds. 

Tetrazine-based explosives are often highly energetic. The high nitrogen content of such compounds often results in high crystal density and explosive performance. 3,6-Diamino-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (198) is a starting material for the synthesis of other 1,2,4,5-tetrazines and is itself synthesized from the condensation of triaminoguanidine hydrochloride (195)...
