Nitroguanidine silver salt

Nitroguanidine is difficult to detonate, but its mercury and silver complex salts are much more impact-sensitive [1]. Many nitroguanidine derivatives have been considered as explosives [2]. 

Nitrogen triiodide a-Nitroguanidine Nitromethane Acids, bromine, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, ozone Complex salts of mercury and silver Acids, alkylmetal halides, hydroxides, hydrocarbons, organic amines, formaldehyde, nitric acid, perchlorates... 

According to T. Urbanski, Kapuscinski and Wojciechowski [41] the silver and mercuric complex salts of nitroguanidine are more sensitive to impact than nitroguanidine itself, e.g., a weight of more than 10 kg must fall 100 cm to explode nitroguanidine, but the mercuric salt detonates when struck by a 10 kg weight falling only 12.5 cm.
