Hexanitrobenzene, also known as HNB, is a nitrobenzene compound in which six nitro groups are bonded to all six positions of a central benzene ring. It is a high-density explosive compound with chemical formula C₆N₆O₁₂, obtained by oxidizing the amine group of pentanitroaniline with hydrogen peroxide in sulfuric acid.
