Seven amine salts of 3‐nitro‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐one(NTO) have been prepared from inexpensive raw materials. The ammonium, ethylenediamine. hydrazine, and guanidinium homolog salts of NTO were synthesized; their methods of preparation are described. Results from initial characterization and small‐scale sensitivity tests indicate that these compounds are thermally stable and moderately insensitive to impact. The heats of formation of these compounds were determined and their performances as gun‐propellant ingredients were calculated based on these data. 13 C‐NMR spectra are also reported.
