Would it be a good idea to mix dicyanoacetylene with tetranitromethane or hexanitroethane ? Mixes of these nitro- compounds with organic chemicals are
known to be explosives.
Do you want an explosive mix or some high energy controllable burn ?
...later edit: sorry, I wanted to post to dicyanoacetylene thread, it should be moved. Thanks

Bad idea. I would not be surprised if there was an immediate explosion.
Trinitromethane mixed with any type of fuel forms dangerously sensitive explosive mixtures. Mixtures of tetranitromethane with fuels are also very
sensitive, probably even more so. Double carbon-carbon bonds will only increase the sensitivity. Mixtures trinitromethane with divinyl ketone can
explode at 4°C. One can only imagine what a triple bond would be like. Tetranitromethane is a nitrating agent, it will nitrate phenol and toluene at
room temperature. No doubt it would immediately react with any acetylene compound, and there would likely be an immediate explosion on contact.
