Antimony metal azides

Metal Azides. Vapor with silver or sodium azide forms explosive bromine azide.10 Metals. Impact-sensitive mixtures are formed from lithium or sodium in dry bromine.11 Potassium, germanium, antimony, and rubidium ignite in bromine vapor.12 Violent reaction occurs with aluminum, mercury, or titanium.13 Methanol. Vigorously exothermic reaction on mixing the liquids.14 Nonmetal Hydrides. At room temperature, violent explosion and ignition occur with silane and its homologs15,16 and with germane.17... 

A number of compounds of the types RSbY2 and R2SbY, where Y is an anionic group other than halogen, have been prepared by the reaction of dihalo- or halostibines with lithium, sodium, or ammonium alkoxides (118,119), amides (120), azides (121), carboxylates (122), dithiocarbamates (123), mercaptides (124,125), or phenoxides (118). Dihalo- and halostibines can also be converted to compounds in which an antimony is linked to a main group (126) or transition metal (127). 

Performance tests consisted of loading DBX-1 as a transfer charge in U.S. Army M55 stab detonators. Standard M55 detonators consist of three separate explosive layers, pressed sequentially into a metal detonator cup as shown in Figure 6. The first layer is 15 mg of the stab initiation mix (NOL-130) it is a combination of lead azide, lead styphnate, barium nitrate, antimony sulfide, and tetrazene [l-(5-tetrazolyl)-3-guanyltetra-zene hydrate], pressed at 70,000 psi. The second layer is 51 mg of transfer charge, lead azide, pressed at 10,000 psi. Lastly, the third layer is 19 mg of output charge, RDX, pressed at 15,000 psi. 

Silver is a white, ductile metal occurring naturally in its pure form and in ores (USEPA 1980). Silver has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all metals. Some silver compounds are extremely photosensitive and are stable in air and water, except for tarnishing readily when exposed to sulfur compounds (Heyl et al. 1973). Metallic silver is insoluble in water, but many silver salts, such as silver nitrate, are soluble in water to more than 1220 g/L (Table 7.3). In natural environments, silver occurs primarily in the form of the sulfide or is intimately associated with other metal sulfides, especially fhose of lead, copper, iron, and gold, which are all essentially insoluble (USEPA 1980 USPHS 1990). Silver readily forms compounds with antimony, arsenic, selenium, and tellurium (Smith and Carson 1977). Silver has two stable isotopes ( ° Ag and ° Ag) and 20 radioisotopes none of the radioisotopes of silver occurs naturally, and the radioisotope with the longest physical half-life (253 days) is "° Ag. Several compounds of silver are potential explosion hazards silver oxalate decomposes explosively when heated silver acetylide (Ag2C2) is sensitive to detonation on contact and silver azide (AgN3) detonates spontaneously under certain conditions (Smith and Carson 1977).

AMMONIA GAS (7664-41-7) Anhydrous, compressed gas or cryogenic liquid. Difficult to ignite, but can detonate in confined spaces in fire. Reacts violently with strong oxidizers, acids (nitric, hydrochloric, sulfuric, picric, hydrobromic, hydrochlorous, etc.). Shock-, temperature-, and pressure-sensitive compounds are formed with antimony, chlorine, germanium compounds, halogens, heavy metals, hydrocarbons, mercury oxide, silver compounds (azides, chlorides, nitrates, oxides). Fire and/or explosions may be caused by contact with acetaldehyde, acrolein, aldehydes, alkylene oxides, amides, antimony, boron, boron halides. 

BROME (French) (7726-95-6) A powerful oxidizer. Violent reaction with reducing agents. Can cause fire and explosions in contact with organic or other readily oxidizable materials. Contact with water or steam forms hydrobromic acid and oxygen. Contact with aqueous ammonia, acetaldehyde, acetylene, acrylonitrile, hydrogen may cause violent reactions. Anhydrous material reacts violently with aluminum, titanium, mercury, or potassium wet material reacts with other metals. Incompatible with many materials, including alcohols, antimony, alkali hydroxides, arsenites, azides, boron, calcium nitrite, cesium monoxide, carbonyls, dimethyl formamide, ethyl phosphine, fluorine, ferrous and mercurous salts, metals.
