One step synthesis of nitrogen-rich green primary explosives from secondary explosives: synthesis, characterization, and performance study

Mono and di-azido group substituted TNBI-based metal free green primary explosives were synthesised. Newly made molecules show better detonation performance (7593–8494 m s −1 ; 21.3–30.0 GPa) than commonly used primary explosives – DDNP and Pb(N3)2.
