The insensitive compound bis(nitrofurazano)furazan (BNFF) with high energy-density was synthesized by three-step reactions and fully characterized. The key reduction reaction was discussed. BNFF has a high crystal density (1.839 g cm−3) and a low melting point (82.6 °C). BNFF is insensitive to impact and friction and has similar detonation velocity (8680 m s−1) and detonation pressure (36.1 GPa) compared to RDX.
