The ultra‐high‐energy‐density compound NCNO 2 was synthesized and characterized as described by M. Rahm, K. O. Christe et al. in their Communication on page 6893 ff. Its predicted energy release of 2.02 kcal g −1 upon combustion is unprecedented and exceeds even that of HN 3 by 17.4 %. The thermal stability of NCNO 2 approaching 100 °C is very unusual because the stability of energetic materials generally decreases with increasing energy content.
