Trinitrotriazine, or 2,4,6-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine, is a potential explosive. It can be made by reacting 1,3,5-triazine (or s-triazine) with nitric acid and a sulfuric acid catalyst:
- C3H3N3 + 3 HNO3 → C3N3(NO2)3 + 3 H2O
It has a perfect oxygen balance, potentially making it a very powerful explosive:
- C3N3(NO2)3 → 3 CO2 + 3 N2
