R-salt

Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C , 100 kPa). Infobox references

R-salt (TNX, systematic name hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitroso-1,3,5-triazine), is an organic compound that has been used as an improvised explosive. As a high explosive, it is less sensitive than other compounds with similar structures, such as RDX. It is also found as a decomposition product of RDX in the environment, such as after RDX detonation. Using chemistry similar to the synthesis of RDX, R-salt can be synthesized by reaction of hexamine with nitrous acid in the presence of an acid catalyst.
