Trinitramide is a compound of nitrogen and oxygen with the molecular formula N(NO2)3. The compound was discovered and described in 2010 by researchers at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden.[1] It has potential use as one of the most efficient and least polluting of rocket propellant oxidizers, as it is chlorine-free.

Earlier, there had been speculation whether trinitramide could exist. Theoretical calculations by Montgomery and Michels showed that the compound was likely to be stable.[2]
