At the B3PW91/6-311+G(d,p)//MP2/6-311+G(d,p) level, molecular densities, detonation velocities, and detonation pressures of nitroso substituted derivatives of azetidine with their thermal stabilities were investigated to look for high energy density compounds (HEDCs). It was found that the azetidine derivatives had high heat of formation (HOF) and large bond dissociation energy (BDE). Intramolecular hydrogen bonds were located in three molecules (1, 4, and 5), and the molecular stability were improved markedly as well. For 5 and 6, the detonation performances (D= 9.36km/s and 10.80km/s, P= 44.42GPa and 60.70GPa, respectively) meet requirements as high energy density compounds. This work may provide basic information for further study of title compounds.
