'''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]]:

:C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>3</sub>N<sub>3</sub> + 3 HNO<sub>3</sub> → C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>3</sub>(NO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub> + 3 H<sub>2</sub>O

It has a perfect oxygen balance, potentially making it a very powerful explosive:

:C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>3</sub>(NO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub> → 3 CO<sub>2</sub> + 3 N<sub>2</sub>
