Description
Fatemeh Safari and a large team present a new nitrogen-rich energetic compound and its many molecular forms in 2026 work. The fused-ring compound, called TTT1, can gain or lose protons across a wide acidity range. Its charged form can arrange its hydrogens in several near-equal ways, called tautomers.
Computer work predicted four such forms close in energy, and two were caught in crystal salts. Oddly, the form predicted most stable never appeared in the crystals grown. One salt proved stable to heat, impact, and friction, and held its structure under pressure up to 2.8 gigapascals, which marks it as a notable new energetic material.
