Impeccable timing by the Royal Society of Chemistry in times of a war of aggression by Russia against the Ukraine!
"Back away slowly, here comes 1,3,5-trinitro-2,4,6-trinitroaminobenzene – a compound that beats all other organic explosives with its enormous detonation power output.
Like other polynitrobenzene explosives, TNTNB neatly combines an oxidiser – the nitro groups – and fuel – the benzene ring – into a single molecular package. This means it can generate huge amounts of energy extremely quickly through self-redox reactions. Like hexanitrobenzene, TNTNB has six nitro groups but also three additional high-energy N–N bonds in its nitroamino groups ..."
