Decomposition explosion of polynitrogen compounds

Many solid explosion cases encountered in organic synthesis laboratories are caused by multi-nitrogen compounds, which are nitrogen-containing high-energy compounds

Nitrogen-rich compounds, such as heavy amino (—N=N ⁺ ) and hydrazine (hydrazine: —NH—NH—) are high-energy groups

Due to the high nitrogen content of polyaminoazole heterocyclic compounds, the molecule contains multiple N—N, N—C, N=N, N=C bonds and other high-energy chemical bonds, thus exhibiting decomposition and explosive properties

In addition to polyazole heterocycles, there are also nitrogen-rich compounds such as guanidines, azos and azines, which are often encountered in drug development and production, and their nitrogen content is mostly more than 20%

C-aminotetrazolium is a high-energy multi-nitrogen compound.

A similar explosion of polynitrogen compounds: the person involved bottled the product (polyamine compound) synthesized multiple times.

Reason analysis: the energy generated by the impact of the stainless steel spoon and the multi-nitrogen compound detonated the compound

In addition to the traditional high-energy polynitrogen compounds such as nitro and azide, new high-energy polychlorinated compounds include tetrazine, tetrazole and furan, and their explosive properties are gradually being recognized

These high-energy multi-nitrogen compounds contain less hydrogen and change the oxygen balance.

Even a simple molecular structure may decompose and explode due to certain factors

The main discussion above is the decomposition and explosion of multi-nitrogen solid compounds
