BNCP Analogs

A number of molecules that could be described as BNCP analogs were studied. Preparation of energetic complexes with —NO2 group bonded to the tetrazole ring replaced by NH2, — H, and —CH3 is possible according to the general equation [44]

At the beginning of the 21st century, Zhilin et al. investigated BNCP and some BNCP analogous tetraamminecobalt(III) perchlorate complexes with lff-tetrazolate,... 

BNCP and its analogs are sensitive to light and may be detonated by laser pulses. Initial studies [43] report use of a variety of laser sources at 800 and 1,060 nm, with later activities, studying the sensitivity of pressed powders to a single pulse, using solid state neodymium laser (1,060 nm, 1.5 J, 2 ms, beam diameter 1 mm) [44]. BNCP analogs are evaluated as alternatives to substances such as hydrazino tetrazole mercury(II) perchlorate which is probably the most sensitive substance with respect to laser pulses (initiation time around 30 ns at 1.10 " J) [39].
