Talk:Trinitrotriazine

This compound is a form of RDX (Royal Demolition Explosive); because of this I have redirected this article to RDX. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acechem (talk • contribs) 18:20, 17 March 2010 (UTC)


 * This compound is a structural analogue related to RDX but with 6 less hydrogen atoms and the nitro groups at different positions; consequently it is an entirely distinct compound and should not be a redirect. RDX is hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine, while this is 2,4,6-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine. However this is not to say the compound actually exists as available references appear to be mainly theoretical calculations. Meodipt (talk) 02:50, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Synthesis?
By reaction of Cyanuric trichloride and nitrite via nucleophilic substitution?
 * By the way: Chemsketch calculates a density of 2,065 g/cm³. A good value for an energetic compound... --FK1954 (talk) 16:01, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
