1,3,5-Triazido-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene, also known as TATNB (triazidotrintrobenzene) and TNTAZB (trinitrotriazidobenzene), is an aromatic high explosive composed of a benzene ring with three azido groups (N₃) and three nitro groups ((NO₂)) alternating around the ring. It has chemical formula C₆(N₃)₃(NO₂)₃. Its velocity of detonation is 7,350 meters per second, comparable to TATB and CPN (CycloPropenium Nitrate).
