Diazonium xanthates, detonation

Diazomethane, reaction with 2,4,6-tri-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid and dimethyl ether, 46,122 Diazonium xanthates, detonation of, 47, 107... 

Diazonium xanthates (ArN—NSCSOC2H5) can detonate, and this procedure should be followed carefully to ensure decomposition of the xanthate as it is formed. Under no circumstances should the diazonium solution and the potassium ethyl xanthate be mixed cold and the mixture subsequently heated. A severe detonation has been reported when such a procedure was employed during the preparation of thiocresol. 

So far as the anionic nature is concerned, if X- = trinitrophenolate (or picrate) I3 S, or xanthate, the diazonium salt detonates on impact, friction, heating or when radiation is present.
