Sorry aboout that...those links take you to the reference section (which requires special access).

I'll attach the patent and paper here.

DMSO Handle With Care
http://dchas.org/phocadownload/JCHAS%20Archives/1994/1994-1-...

DMSO is Acetone with the central 2 position carbon replaced with Sulfur
which makes it more susceptable to oxidation. Even a lame oxidizer
such as TCCA will runaway. See section 10 here _

Perchlorate salts mixed with any fuel is pyrotechnic , not only DMSO see also _

About the GB patent,
I have serious doubts about the decomposition reaction pathways described...

To my feeling AlCl3 can't result from the reaction of Al(OClO3)3...
Simple electronegativity check will tell Al2O3 or Al(OH)3 must result (Al being the most electropositive and O the more electronegative) aside some HCl and H2S also.

For the rest any molecular mix of an oxydiser and a reducer/fuel must be considered critical and powerful...in the event of a mishaps, spontaneous decomposition...
