R-salt (TNX, systematic name hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitroso-1,3,5-triazine) is an explosive organic compound that has been used in terrorist attacks.[1][2] It is a high explosive that is less sensitive than other compounds of similar availability.[2] It has a similar structure to RDX but with nitrosamine groups replacing the nitroamine groups of RDX. It is also found as a decomposition product of RDX in the environment, such as after RDX detonation.[3] This may be a potential environmental issue as a study concluded that TNX is toxic to earthworm Eisenia fetida.[4] R-salt is synthesized by nitrosation of hexamine.[2]
