Nitramine-based energetic materials contain nitro groups chemically bound to other nitrogen atoms: N-NO2. Dimethylnitramine,(CH3) 2N-NO2, is one of the simplest compounds of this type and it is often used as a test species for understanding nitramine combustion. Currently, the most widely used nitramines in solid propellants are the cyclic compounds RDX (hexahydro-l, 3, 5trinitro-l, 3, 5-triazine) and HMX (octahydro-l, 3, 5, 7-tetranitro-l, 3, 5, 7-tetrazine).

Since a large amount of energy and gas is released during their combustion, they have high values of the specific impulse for rocket propellants. Hence, they are widely used in various solid propellants formulations. They are viewed as environmentally friendly since their combustion products are non-toxic and noncorrosive. Due to their relatively low sensitivity to accidental ignition and high detonation velocity relative to other explosives, they are also used as important energetic ingredients in low vulnerability ammunition. Thus, they have been under intense experimental and theoretical investigation for the past few decades [1–5].
