I thought about this just recently but with NaCLO3 as it would be solvent in water where as KCLO3 would not (to a greater extent). We are talking about Example 5? Correct...?

No , not talking about example 5 at all , but an unpublished variant not described in the Kenney patents .
What it was is the non-azo clathrate of the other Kenney patent , basic lead picrate - lead nitrate - lead chlorate
made by a modified synthesis to the Kenney example
which provided a higher yield also for that parent substrate , and then saturating that substrate with azide
in the same way as the others .

IIRC what I did was make basic lead picrate first ,
then add lead nitrate and lead chlorate simultaneously
to form the triple salt , and then very slowly add the
azide . IIRC I indirectly described how the triple salt
parent substrate was made , in that old thread at E&W
as a suggested modification on another synthesis that
someone was reporting for basic lead picrate which was
being misidentified by them as being lead picrate .

What method are you using to "admix" these two? Wet? Dry? Solvent? It seems that a wet mixing process where both materials are added to H2O with stirring and then simply filtering would be the safest.


I have made it dry for tiny quantities (few mg) and with methanol with larger (few g).
The silver complex is white to pale grey and the Ni complex is lilas pink...the resulting mix is pale lilas pink. Any darkening in the time will result in higher sensitivity. Although this will only happen on long exposure to sunlight

Silver Valence


This is in regard to Philou's assertion on the previous page that silver nitrotetrazole has a valence of one.

Urbanski, in C&T of Explosives, V3, p157, refers to “(CNO)2Ag” and on the next page repeats this in a graph. I was initially irritated by this “error” until I saw the silver bis-nitrotetrazole name and molecule in PATR, V9, pT138, and then assumed that silver might actually have a valence of two. Good for performance, good for price.

Silver does form Ag(II) compounds, but it requires quite strong oxidizing conditions; and Ag(III) compounds, which require very strongly oxidizing conditions. AgF2 amd AgF3 and I think the oxides are known; Ag++ can be stabilized in complex cations by appropriate ligands.

Maybe due to the names?
Argent....Hydr Argent (HydrAgentum) (hence the Hg symbol)
Silver...Quick Silver
Silver...kwik Silver
Ag...Hg the typo can also be made quite fast :)

For the rest valence can be set to other values but the expected AgII, or other would be extreemly oxydant...

Last relevant post was in 2008....
Any new 'favorite primarys' ?

Im interrested in BNCP. I have made it a couple of times.

It is not really sensitive towards impact and friction. Also not sensitive towards static electricity.
Low density powder (good if you do not make more then 2 grams a time).
Non toxic


On the other side it has some drawbacks:
Time consuming, multi step synthesis.
Needs good confinement in a detonator in orde too work properly

I estimate, that best choice for reliable detonation of some secondary EM, is Silver Acetylide - Double salt. In todays times = SA-DS. Non-toxic, easy readyable. Diluted weak HNO3, Ag, Calcium Carbide. And as bonus pretty nice reaction. But I not use it. I use Tetraamine copper perchlorate-hexamine clathrate.
Shortly CHP. About CHP you can tick cigarette without consequences. If is not in cavity. With SA-DS is impossible it.....:cool:

LL good reply. But I think small crystals of AGNiPerchlorate is less sensitive than SADS, and so so much more powerful. Wow.

I owe this to tetrazolelvr. He’s the man. You need to try this stuff LL.. it’s the most addictive EM :)

A lot of improvements can be made in modifying the crystal size, shock gel, grinding (underwater, safely).

I do want to say. All of us in the EM community owe LL a huge thanks. CHP is revolutionary, it bridges the gap between primaries and secondaries.. and IMHO, not really a need for primaries anymore... only for microcaps.

A big thanks to LL!!

Well, aminoguanidine nickel perchlorate. Maybe will examinated.

Does some people have experience with Aminog-niperchlorate? Seems easy to make, but how sensitive is it?

Edit: i looked for info about this one, but I cannot find any info about this primary. Can someone post a link to a patent?
Edit: sorry, found it.

I've only ever synthesised 2, acetone peroxide and HMTD.

I prefer HMTD as it feels less likely to jump up and eat my face off.

What is CHP?

CHP is a relatively new energy material invented 4 years ago. Its behavior is something between primary and secondary properties. It requires a solid metal cavity for reliable operation. It is less sensitive to friction. Loose in the air, or only weakly burned in a weak container without detonation. It is a mixture of TACP = teraamine copper perchlorate with admixture of hexamine, usually 4-8%. Preferably 6%....:cool:...LL
However, in slow heating in aluminium foil, in 8 layers of amount about 200 mg is detonation sure always.....:cool:...LL

CHP is great. I take 200mg orally in gelatin capsules daily. Gives pep to my step. Also deepens the tone of music and keeps my thyroid on my toes! My T levels shot up from 577.4 to 3567.88. It’s gives me a glow that the ladies can’t pass up.

: )

So copper haxamine perchlorate CHP.

Kind of like ETN... primary/secondary?

@..Simoski ,...Yes. For properties of useful is similar. But chemical base formula is diametral different. Closest with properties of CHP is nickel hydrazine nitrate NHN.

Hi LL, can you elaborate. you are able to get it to det by heatshock? 8 layers? i thought it required confinement.

I am wondering about heat shock in general. Is it not a viable alternative to a primary? For example, ETN seems easy to det using heat. is it not possible to make a electrical heater and detonate secondary directly? For example, i remember reading that a large enough amount of even AN can bet detonated by heating. Could one make use a resistive wire (coils) to set it off? I know that is not very precise for some purposes, but it would be very safe. No need for high voltages (EBW) or sensitive primaries. Stray current would not set it off too.

Best bet would be to follow my ETN NPED protocall. In which the same could be done for CHP. Wrap 200mg of CHP in 8 layers of foil. Take 500mg of CHP in foil, then insert the 200mg of CHP (with the fuse) into the 500mg. Wrap with foil. The 200mg will deflagrate and heat the surrounding 500mg. Works with my ETN recipie, so should work better with CHP! Or. Make a hollow core in the CHP and fill with flash. If compatable. One only needs the imagination!!

@...twelti....Maybe is time try a new system MineMan-Liptakov initiator. Wrap 200mg CHP + 200 mg ETN (as mixture) in 8 layers of Alu foil. With insered normal resist bridge. And enclose 200 mg ETN ( in thin 3 layers Alu) on some side on this pear bag shape. And Wrap into 8 layers of alu foil again. Can be works maybe. Without thick metal cavity....:cool:...LL....Tomorrow I will try it. Very interest.....:D...LL
