TATP being the most notable exception if you don't care about its nasty 
tendency to explode even when you don't want it to. Not long after it 
was first in the news Amazon "helpfully" suggested to me after buying 40 
vols H2O2 that "people who bought this also bought acetone" !?

That stuff is really nasty and unforgiving.

Azides and azo-bond based explosives are also high in nitrogen too.

Most of the other esoteric non-nitrogen based explosives are way beyond 
mere mortals to synthesise (and somewhat unforgiving even for experts).

There is a surprising amount of detail in the open literature these days 
if you know where to look.
