Precautions in Handling Explosive Materials

Transition metal hydrazine perchlorate, nitrate, and azide complexes are explosive in nature, as indicated by DTA experiments and impact sensitivity measurements. Special precautions have to be taken during the synthesis and characterization of these materials. Small quantities of up to 1 g can be prepared without any explosion. Special mention should be made of the nickel hydrazine azide complex, which is prepared from NiCli + NaNa-I-2N2H4 H2O. The product is highly friction sensitive, especially in dry state, and so samples are to be handled with a Teflon spatula. A few milligrams are used for DTA and impact sensitivity tests. [Pg.129]
