By use of the term "nitronium-containing compound" is meant either a covalently bonded compound containing a NO2 -- group such as, for example, covalent N2 O5 (NO2 NO3) or trifluoroacetylnitrate, or a nitronium salt having the formula (NO2+)n X-n, where X is the anion of the nit...
One promising oxidizer from this class of compounds is ammonium dinitramide (ADN), N4O4H4 which has the structural formula NH4N(NO2)2. ADN like ammonium nitrate (AN) undergoes residueless combustion. However, it burns more readily and predictably than AN. Therefore, it is much more ...
