I) IF- which readily detonate when ignited cither as loose powder or pressed pellets at pressure as low as ICT torr. Lead, silver and mercuric azides, silver and cadmium fulminates, lead styphnate and m-dinitrobenzdiazonium perchlorate belong to tfiis group of compounds. All the above substances are characterized by a very short period of burning preceding detonation. 

Cadmium fulminate forms white crystals that are soluble in alcohol. It is hygroscopic but dry cadmium fulminate is stable (in desiccator above CaCl2) [15]. 

As opposed to alkaline azides which do not have properties of explosives, alkaline fulminates are mostly reported as highly sensitive and explosive substances [8,107, 108] even though one source mentioned sodium fulminate as not so sensitive (impact sensitivity for NaCNO to be 32 cm with 0.5 kg hammer compared to 7.5-10 cm MF under the same conditions) [27]. Sensitivity of these fulminates is reported as extreme and handling a hazardous operation [8, 107, 108]. Extreme sensitivity is further reported for the rubidium and cesium salts. Alkaline fulminates undergo explosion when initiated by flame, even in small amounts, whereas mercury fulminate only deflagrates. The exact sensitivity data are, however, not reported in this work [107]. Sensitivity of cadmium fulminate to impact is about the same as that of MF sensitivity of thallium fulminate is higher [15, 57]. 

Cupric fulminate and particularly cadmium fulminate are powerful primary explosives. The initiating efficiency of cadmium fulminate is even higher than that of silver fulminate. The initiating temperature and initiation efficiency of...
