Abstract: Energetic N-amino-C-nitro compounds 1-amino-4-nitro-1,2,3-triazole and 2-amino-4-nitro-1,2,3-triazole are characterized for the first time as energetic materials. These compounds were characterized chemically by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Compounds were also characterized energetically by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), impact, and friction and found to possess sensitivities and performances classifying them as primary explosives with PETN-like performance.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.<br /> (© 2020 The Authors.
