Polynitrylalkanes

Polynitrylalkanes are multiple nitrex groups bonded to an alkane. Nitrex is an explosive organic compound group. The source of explosion comes from the separation of the carbon chain.

Chain Expansion
The most simple molecule is Nitrylmethane- which is comprised of a nitrex bonded to one carbon. To continue adding more, one would use the IUPAC chemical nomenclature. So, a ten carbon chain with three nitryls on the second, fourth, and seventh carbons would be called: 2,4,7-trinityrldecane.

Explosive Balancing
Explosive balancing is the ratio of carbon atoms in a chain relative to the number of attached nityl groups. Most commonly, the explosive used to blast rock out of mines is 3,3,7-trinitryl-2-octanol. (Three nitryls and an alcohol group). The ratio usually varies by job.

Trinitrylamide
This compound is comprised of 3 nitrexes surrounding a central nitrogen (hence, amide).

It is an extremely high powered explosive, that under certain conditions can rival even that of oxygen polarcide.
