Explosion organic oxidation

Because there are multiple nitro groups in the molecular structure of TNEOF and TNEOC, they are highly explosive organic oxidants and extremely sensitive to mechanical shock, essentially similar to PETN. TNEOF and TNEOC both have great solubility in nitroalkanes, in which their impact sensitivity can be significantly reduced. Therefore, it appears that combining these two oxidants with nitro compounds to produce liquid explosives is a clever approach.

Attempts to react the oxidant with fram-dichlorocthylene or tetrafluoroethylene at ambient temperature in absence of diluent caused violent explosions. The oxidant should not be allowed to contact organic or easily oxidised material without adequate precautions.

This organic oxidant, initially claimed a safe reagent, later showed the treacherous explosibility normal to organic perchlorates. The far less hazardous tetrafluoroborate is an equally effective reagent. 

Of a series of quaternary permanganate salts examined as organic oxidants, those of the unsaturated cations benzyltrimethylammonium, benzyltriethylammonium, methyltriphenylphosphonium, ethylenebis(triphenylphosphonium) and hexadecyl-pyridinium all decomposed explosively at —80—90°C, and of tetraphenylarsonium at 120—130°C. The permanganate salts of the saturated cations...

Ethylene oxide is a low boiling, flammable liquid, whose vapors easily form explosive mixtures in air [1]. It is to be labeled as a cancer hazard and a reproductive hazard [2]. It is prudent to handle propylene oxide and other three-membered ring organic oxides with safety precautions similar to those used for ethylene oxide.
