Hi!
I looked in the archives, I used the search function and I did not find any similar topics. If there was this topic I’m very sorry and just cancel this one. There was something about a detonator on MHN and pirotechnic mixture. But for me nitromannit is too sensitive.
This is a interesting subject so I put it on. For me a new primary explosive should be electrostatic discharge safe! Most unexpected explosions of HMTD, AP or lead azide are cause by electrostatic discharges, from which it’s very hard to secure.
This is a list of new primary explosives I know:
1. NHN (nikiel hydrazinum nitrate)
2. CP (2-(5-cyanotetrazolato) pentaaminecobalt (III) perchlorate)
3. CCP (?)
4. NCP (?)
5. 1,4-Diformyl-2,3,5,6-Tetranitratopiperazine
I wonder if copper(II) tetraamino(?) nitrate ([Cu(NH3)4](NO3)2) has this properties (electrostatic discharge safety)? Someone detonated it? Its very easy to make.
CP actually isn’t so safe like NHN but safer than Pb(N3)2. I have none information about CCP and NCP.
I think NHN is the best because it is very easy to synthesize however it is hard to detonate. Does someone actually detonated (from a bridgewire) small amount (like 1g) of NHN? NHN must have high density (how high I don’t know) or will note detonate. Perhaps NHN could be mixed with some nonexplosive substances that will help NHN to detonate from fire.
1,4-Diformyl-2,3,5,6-Tetranitratopiperazine isn’t very interesting because its synthesize requires trifluoroaceticanhydride.
Any information are very, very glad to see.
PS
I learned chemistry a pyrotechnics not in English so it will be very nice if someone could sent mi the structure of CP.
Best regards,
MBialy
