“…Although nitrofurazans have been studied for many years, a relatively small set of high energetic furazans possessing as a rule one or two furazan rings was published. 3,4-Dinitrofurazan (1), (3) 3-cyano-4-nitrofurazan (2), (3) 5-(3-nitrofurazan-4-yl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazolo [4,5-c]-furazan inner salt (3) (4,5) , 4,4-dinitrobifurazan (4) (1, 3,6) , 4,4-dinitrodifurazalyl ether (5) (7) , 4,4-dinitrodifurazalyl sul®de and S-oxides (6a-c) (8) , 4,4 H dinitroazo-(7) (3,9) and -azoxyfurazan (8) (3,10,11) , methylene-bis(3-nitroamino-4-nitrofurazan) (9) (12,13) In our laboratory investigation of nitrofurazans has been carried out for about two decades. (5,14,15) The use of the furazan ring as key building block was not accidental in this work.…”
