B-Nitrosooxypentamethylborazine, B-nitrooxypentamethylborazine and B-trinitrooxy-N-trimethylborazine have been synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹B, and ¹⁴N NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, vibrational spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The ¹¹B NMR shifts were calculated and compared to the experimental results. The decomposition temperatures and the impact and friction sensitivities of these compounds have been determined as well.

Key words: Nitrosooxyborazines, Nitrooxyborazines, ¹¹B NMR Spectroscopy, Energetic Materials, Impact and Friction Sensitivities
