R-salt (TNX, systematic name hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitroso-1,3,5-triazine) is an organic compound that has been used as an homemade explosive.[1] It is a high explosive that is less sensitive than other compounds of similar availability.[1] It has a similar structure to RDX—TNX has nitrosamine groups as compared to the nitroamine groups of RDX—but is less commonly used. It is also found as a decomposition product of RDX in the environment, such as after RDX detonation.[2] This can lead to problems as a study concluded that TNX is toxic to earthworm Eisenia fetida.[3] Using chemistry similar to the synthesis of RDX, R-salt can be synthesized by reaction of hexamine with nitrous acid in the presence of an acid catalyst.[1]

R-salt was mentioned in connection to bombs planted in the 2025 New Orleans truck attack.[4]
