With aims toward desensitizing RDX and TNT via molecular modification, mono‐ and trinitroso‐derivatives of RDX and 3‐amino‐TNT were synthesized and subjected to sensitivity tests. Impact and shock sensitivity data show these compounds to be markedly desensitized. Explosive yield measurements indicate that the changes in power output due to these molecular modifications are minor.
