Chem., 1960, 14, 295—296 Experimental directions must be followed exactly to prevent violent spontaneous explosions during preparation of the salt from silver oxide and boron trifluoride etherate in nitromethane, according to the earlier method [1]. The later method [3] is generally safer than that in [2]. See other SILVER COMPOUNDS 0006.

Ranganathan, S. et al., J. Chem. Educ., 1976, 53, 347 Exposure of ammoniacal silver chloride solutions to air or heat produces a black crystalline deposit of ‘fulminating silver’, mainly silver nitride, with silver diimide and silver amide also possibly present [1]. Attention is drawn [2] to the possible explosion hazard in a method of recovering silver from the chloride by passing an ammoniacal solution of the chloride through an ion exchange column to separate the þ Ag(NH3) ion, prior to elution as the nitrate [3]. It is essential to avoid letting the ammoniacal solution stand for several hours, either alone or on the column [2]. See Silver nitride See other METAL HALIDES, SILVER COMPOUNDS 0009. Silver azide chloride [67880-13-1] AgClN3 2+ + Cl Ag N N N Frierson, W. J. et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1943, 65, 1698 It is shock sensitive when dry.

[2], 1923, 53,40 The salt is impact-sensitive, cannot be finely ground, and explodes at 105C. Attempts to react silver chlorite with iodo-methane or -ethane caused explosions, immediate in the absence of solvents, or delayed in their presence. Hydrochloric acid, or Sulfur Mellor, 1941, Vol. 2, 284 It explodes in contact with hydrochloric acid or on rubbing with sulfur. Non-metals Pascal, 1960, Vol. 16, 264 Finely divided carbon, sulfur or red phosphorus are oxidised violently by silver chlorite. See other CHLORITE SALTS, SILVER COMPOUNDS 4 0011.

See other METAL CHLORATES, SILVER COMPOUNDS 0012. Silver perchlorate [7783-93-9] AgClO4 O + Ag O Cl O O Anon., Angew. Chem. (Nachr.), 1962, 10,2 It melts without decomposition although the enthalpy of conversion to silver chloride and oxygen appears to be about —0.5 kJ/g. An explosion while grinding the salt (which had not been in contact with organic materials) has been reported [1]. A powerful oxidant. Acetic acid MRH 2.80/22 Mellor, 1956, Vol. 2, Suppl. 1, 616 The salt solvated with acetic acid is impact sensitive. See Aromatic compounds, below Alkynes, Mercury Comyns, A. E. et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1957, 79, 4324 Concentrated solutions of the perchlorate in 2-pentyne or 3-hexyne (complexes are formed) explode on contact with mercury. See METAL ACETYLIDES Aromatic compounds MRH Aniline 3.47/11, toluene 3.51/9 1. Sidgwick, 1950, 1234 2. Brinkley, S. R., J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1940, 62, 3524 3. Peone, J. et al., Inorg. Synth., 1974, 15,69 4. Stull, 1977, 22 Silver perchlorate forms solid complexes with aniline, pyridine, toluene, benzene and many other aromatic hydrocarbons [1]. A sample of the benzene complex exploded violently on crushing in a mortar. The ethanol complex also exploded similarly, and unspecified perchlorates dissolved in organic solvents were observed to explode [2]. 5 Solutions of the perchlorate in benzene are said to be dangerously explosive [3], but this may be in error for the solid benzene complex. The energy released on decomposition of the benzene complex has been calculated as 3.4 kJ/g, some 75% of that for TNT [4]. Carbon tetrachloride, Hydrochloric acid 491M, 1975, 368 Silver perchlorate and carbon tetrachloride in presence of a little hydrochloric acid produce trichloromethyl perchlorate, which explodes at 40C. See Trichloromethyl perchlorate 1,2-Diaminoethane 491M, 1975, 368 Dropwise addition of the amine to the salt led to an explosion (possibly initiated by heat liberated by complex formation). Diethyl ether Heim, F., Angew. Chem., 1957, 69,274 After crystallisation from ether, the material exploded violently on crushing in a mortar. It had been considered stable previously, since it melts without decomposition [1]. Dimethyl sulfoxide Ahrland, S. et al., Acta. Chem. Scand. A, 1974, 28, 825 The crystalline complex solvated with 2DMSO explodes with extreme violence if rubbed or scratched.

C. et al., J. Chem. Soc. Pak., 1982, 4, 103—113 The perchlorate forms complexes with 2, 3 or 4 mols of oxathiane which explode on heating. Tetrachlorosilane, or Tetrabromosilane, or Titanium tetrachloride, and Diethyl ether Schmeisser, M., Angew. Chem., 1955, 67, 499 Reaction gives explosive volatile organic perchlorates, probably ethyl perchlorate.
