Obtaining superior high-density fused-ring energetic materials the introduction of carbonyl, -NH-NO and nitroamino groups.

Two carbonyl and -NH-NO-containing energetic materials and their analogues were effectively designed, synthesized and fully characterized with multinuclear NMR, IR and elemental analyses. Their structures were also further confirmed X-ray diffraction. Among them, compound 7 exhibits good potential for application as a secondary explosive with extremely high density (2.
