A literature review of synthesis and crystallization methods and potential applications of 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) in low sensistive explosive compositions is done. The sense of research and designing insensitive munition is mentioned and examples of mass scale insensitive compositions are presented. Examples of synthesis and crystallization methods of NTO and their influence on the crystals morphology is presented.
