An overview of the utility of dinitrogen pentoxide in the synthesis of energetic materials is described. New nitration methodologies have been developed which overcome many of the drawbacks of conventional mixed acid media, especially when dealing with sensitive substrates. Two nitration systems systems are discussed: Dinitrogen pentoxide in pure nitric acid and dinitrogen pentoxide in organic solvents. Advantages are described.
