Pyridine Perchlorate is almost as powerful as TNT (Pb block expansion 95% TNT, 87% PA), but is much more sensitive to impact (FI 40% PA), being comparable to PETN in this respect (Refs 4 5). Kuhn (Ref 7) states that it can be detonated on impact, but is normally considered a stable intermediate, suitable for purification of pyridine. Occasionally explns have occurred when the salt was disturbed (Ref 11), which have been variously attributed to the presence of ethyl perchlorate, AP or chlorates. A safer preparative modification is described (Ref 8). It explds on heating to above 335°, or at a lower temp if AP is present (Ref 10). According to Mellor (Ref 9), the salt can expld violently in contact with metals, while Zacherl (Ref 6) describes a lab expln which occurred during the distn of pyridine liberated from its perchlorate... 

Magnesium perchlorate used as a dehydrating agent was exposed to ethanol fumes for several months, while attempting to crumble the salt formed. The detonation which followed was explained by the formation of ethyl perchlorate which is explosive on impact or frlcition. 

Reaction gives explosive volatile organic perchlorates, probably ethyl perchlorate. 

Condensation of the iron complex with cyclopentanone in perchloric acid-acetic anhydride-ether medium had been attempted. The non-crystalline residue, after methanol washing and drying in air for several weeks, exploded on being disturbed. This was attributed to possible presence of a derivative of ferrocenium perchlorate, a powerful explosive and detonator. However, methyl or ethyl perchlorates alternatively may have been involved. 

The explosions sometimes observed on contact of the anhydrous acid with ether are probably owing to formation of ethyl perchlorate by scission of the ether, (or possibly to formation of diethyloxonium perchlorate). 

Many explosions have been experienced dining the gravimetric determination of either perchlorates or potassium as potassium perchlorate by a standard method involving an ethanol extraction. During subsequent heating, formation and explosion of ethyl perchlorate is very probable. 

The desiccant in a drying tube, accidentally exposed to ethanol vapour, was left for several months. The explosion which occurred when the desiccant was scraped out was certainly due to formation of ethyl perchlorate. 

Attempted recrystallisation of the salt from ethanol caused an explosion (probably involving ethyl perchlorate). 

A second crop of material (+14.2% oxygen balance), precipitated by addition of excess perchloric acid to the liquor, was collected on a sinter, washed and dried with ethanol, then ether. Stirring the filter cake led to a violent explosion [1] formation of ethyl perchlorate seems to have been the most likely cause. The advantages of using plastic sintered funnels in reducing friction and the extent of fragmentation if an explosion occurs were stressed later [2],... 

A highly explosive liquid [1]. Early attempts failed to isolate it but prepared numerous other explosive compounds. Reaction of dichlorine hexoxide with silicon tetrachloride or tetrabromide gave an explosive solid, apparently a perchlorato oligosiloxane. Silver perchlorate and silicon tetrahalides in ether gave explosive volatile organics, perhaps ethyl perchlorate. Replacing ether by acetonitrile as solvent, a solid (di)acetonitrile adduct of the tetraperchlorate precipitated, described as exceptionally explosive even in the smallest quantities [2],...

Ethyl perchlorate, C2H5OCIO3, was first prepared by Hare and Boyle [2] as early as 1841. These authors drew attention to the highly explosive character of the substance and the danger of handling it. It is an oil liable to explode even when it is poured from one vessel into another. They obtained it by digesting barium ethyl sulphate with barium perchlorate. Later it was prepared by Roscoe [3] by acting with silver perchlorate on ethyl iodide. 

Desiccation of gaseous ethylene oxide led to an explosion, (possibly involving formation of 2-hydroxy ethyl perchlorate).
