III perchlorate BNCP

CP is no longer available for hot wire applications as one of its starting materials (cyanogen) is not available due to its hazardous nature and Environmental Protection Act (EPA) restrictions. Bates [20] of RARDE reported a related compound, tetraamine-cis-bis(5-nitro-2H-tetrazolato-N2) cobalt (III) perchlorate (BNCP) [Structure (2.61)] for this purpose in 1986. The synthesis of BNCP has been described previously [240-242] and consists of four steps ...
