EGDN (C2H4N2O6)

Ethylene glycol dinitrate, abbreviated EGDN and NGc, also known as nitroglycol, is a chemical compound a colorless, oily explosive liquid obtained by nitrating ethylene glycol. It is similar to nitroglycerin in both manufacture and properties, though it is more volatile and less viscous. Unlike nitroglycerine, the chemical has a perfect (0) oxygen balance, meaning that its ideal exothermic decomposition would completely convert it to low energy CO2, H2O, and N2, with no excess unreacted O2, H2, C, or other high-energy substances, without needing to react with anything else.
