Perchlorate ammino

Co(H2OMNH3)4(CI04)3. Brownish red octahedral crysts (Ref 13) prepd by the action of aq perchloric ac on Co carbonato tetra-ammino nitrate (Ref 22). Impact sensy with 2kg wt for 50% explns, 24cm- The expln is described as strong with a visible flame and loud report (Ref 25)... 

Lithium bromide also combines with gaseous ammonia to form four solid deliquescent substances. The monammine, [Li(NH3)]Br, is formed above 95° C. the diammine, [Li(NIi3)2]Br, between 87° and 95° C. the triammine, [Li(NH3)3]Br, between 71° and 87° C. and the tetrammine about —18° C.2 Ephraim prepared other ammino-salts of lithium, as, for example, tetrammino-lithium nitrate, [Li(NH3)J(N03), which is a colourless syrup at ordinary temperature and is more stable than the chloride tetrammino-lithium chlorate, [Li(NII3)Ll]C103, which is a fairly mobile liquid and tetrammino-lithium perchlorate, [Li(NH3)4]C104, a white solid which liquefies and decomposes at ordinary temperature.3... 

Friedrich and Vervoorst found that the substance [Cu(NH3)4](C103)2 has initiating properties. It is however of no practical use, losing ammonia fairly rapidly in air. In damp air it is easily hydrolysed. Nickel ammino perchlorate [Ni(NH3)6] (C104)2 is a fairly strong explosive with the rate of detonation 5300 m/sec at the density 1.39. 

CoSCNlNHsls(0104)2- Deep rose red needles prepd by the addn of aq Na perchlorate to an ice cold soln of Co thideyanato penta-ammino dithiocyanate, the pink solid filtered, and dried (Ref 19) by the addn of aq Na perchlorate to the sulfate (Ref 15) or by the addn of Na thiocyanate to Co aquopenta-ammino diperchlorate... 

Two ways are open to utilize perchlorates as superior colored light producers One consists of finding cationic complex salts of the alkaline earth perchlorates in which the coordinating ammino, ethylene-diamine, etc. group converts the salt in an anhydrous, nonhygroscopic, stable compound.
