Hexanitroethane (HNE) is an organic compound with chemical formula C 2 N 6 O 12 or (O 2 N) 3 C-C(NO 2 ) 3 . It is a solid matter with a melting point of 135 °C. Hexanitroethane is used in some pyrotechnic compositions as a nitrogen-rich oxidizer, e.g. in some decoy flare compositions and some propellants. Like hexanitrobenzene, HNE has been investigated as a gas source for explosively pumped gas dynamic lasers. A composition of HNE as oxidizer with boron as fuel is being investigated as a new explosive.
