“…Apart from this, introducing functional groups, such as nitro, nitramino, azido, hydrazine, etc., also bestows energetic performance. 20 Furthermore, the investigation of recent literature reveals that the presence of non-covalent interactions such as van der Waals, coulombic, and hydrogen bonding interactions lowers the sensitivity while the planarity of the energetic backbone grants an increment in the density of the molecule. Traditional energetic materials, such as TNT (2,4,6trinitrotoluene), RDX (1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane), and HMX (1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane) rely on the oldest design principle for energetic materials: the coexistence of fuel and oxidizer in the same molecule.…”
