Abstract: The synthesis and characterization of several TATB-inspired energetic materials was explored. Despite their structural similarity to TATB, their behavior toward traditional synthetic pathways deviates significantly from that of the parent material. This change in expected reactivity is discussed and an efficient alternative synthesis is reported. The development of a simple and effective route to these TATB-type compounds opens the door to a potential new class of insensitive high explosives.
