Survey on the Synthesis of Highly Energetic CompoundsThe modern world would not exist without the invention and availability of powerful and 'safe' organic explosives.Most explosives and propellants are based on highly nitrated compounds.Since tremendous efforts are currently made in the research of trace detection of explosives, such a monograph about potentially occurring highly energetic organic compounds comes right in time.Therefore, this well-written book is of general interest for a broad scientific community.The monograph focuses on the synthetic strategies to construct highly energetic materials but does not provide detailed procedures for making these dangerous compounds.It is noteworthy that the preparation of explosives and procuring chemicals therefor, without a license, is a serious criminal offence!
