Fulminates ammonium silver fulminate

Berthollet s fulminating silver is produced by addition of alcohol to a concentrated solution of silver monoxide in ammonium hydroxide. It forms small, black crystals, exploded by friction, and soluble in potassium-cyanide solution. It probably has the formula NAgs or NAgH2 2 and it has no connexion with silver fulminate, C.-N.O.Ag. 

SAFETY PROFILE Experimental reproductive effects. Human mutation data reported. Reaction with ammonia or ammonium salts yields fulminating gold, a heat-, friction-, and impact-sensitive explosive similar to mercury and silver fulminates. See also GOLD COMPOUNDS and CHLORIDES. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of CT.

Silver fulminate (SF) is a white crystalline material with heat of formatiOTi 179 kJ mol [15]. It crystallizes in the form of small rosettes or star-shaped clusters. Two polymorphic forms have been reported—orthorhombic and trigonal. The crystal shape depends on reaction conditions (temperature, concentration) during sUver fulminate preparation [94]. Recrystallization from ammonia leads to needles and multiple growths of leaf-like habits [92]. Long (4—5 mm) needle-shaped crystals were prepared by Singh and investigated by X-ray analysis. It was found that the crystal is orthorhombic [95]. The crystal structure of SF was later investigated in detail by Britton and Dunitz [96, 97] and their results were confirmed by Barrick et al. [98]. Ammonium acetate solution ( 20 %) is recommended as the solvent for...

Action of ammonia or ammonium salts on gold chloride, oxide or other salts under a wide variety of conditions gives explosive or fulminating gold [1], Of uncertain composition but containing Au—N bonds, this is a heat-, friction- and impact-sensitive explosive when dry, similar to the related mercury and silver compounds [2]. In an attempt to precipitate finely divided gold from its solution in aqua regia...
