A fused‐ring conjugated energetic molecule, 4‐amino‐3,7‐dinitro‐[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1‐c] [1,2,4]triazine (TTX), has been synthesized in good yield in a two‐step process starting from the known 5‐amino‐3‐nitro‐1 H ‐1,2,4‐triazole (ANTA). Characterization of TTX shows that it possesses energetic properties approaching those of 1,3,5‐trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazacyclohexane (RDX), but with a higher thermal stability and lower sensitivity towards impact and friction.
