Also known as oxygen nitro compounds, most of them are prepared by esterification reaction (hydrogen in alcohol hydroxyl group is replaced by nitracyl group). Due to the presence of nitro groups in the molecules, they are explosive. Nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin and penthrite are the typical indium. The power is large, but the safety is poor, and the sensitivity is high. Due to its strong reaction ability, it can reduce the initiation energy and improve the high explosiveness of the fuel. It can sensitize some military explosive. nitrate is an important medicine, which can dilate coronary artery and relieve myocardial ischemia.
