Cupric azide complex salts

Cupric Explosive Salts. See under AMMINE, Tables D E, Vol 1, p A280-81 Cupric Azide Complexes, Vol 1, p A533-L under Cupric Chlorate, Vol 2, p C188-L under List of Copper Compounds in this Volume and others, p C 515-R... 

Tetrazidocu prate Metal Salts. There are two specific salts of interest which are not mentioned in Vol 1, A533-R to A534-L under Cupric Azide Complexes , viz ... 

Complex salts of cupric azide are also explosive. The salt Cu(NH3)4(N3)2 is much less sensitive to impact than cupric azide itself. The complex lithium-cupric salt Li4[Cu(N3)6] has exceptionally strong initiating properties. 

Cu(N3)a], mw 379.92, N 51.62%. Two isomers are known n-Butyl salt, expl at 178 80° and iso-Butyl salt, mp 125° expl at 203° both compds expl also under impact. These and other complex salts of cupric azide,...
