NH2NO2
NH2NO2, commonly known as nitramide, is the simplest nitramide with the formula NH2NO2. It consists of an amino group attached to a nitro moiety via an N–N bond, giving a planar molecule with resonance forms that distribute charge between the two nitrogen centers.
Nitramide is a white crystalline solid at room temperature. It is reactive as an oxidizer and can
Synthesis and occurrence: Nitramide is prepared in specialized laboratories or industrial facilities through controlled oxidation or
Applications: The primary relevance of nitramide is as a building block in the synthesis of higher nitramines
Safety: As a high-energy oxidizer, nitramide can pose explosion and toxic-gas risks under improper conditions. It
