0501. Ammonium aci-Nitromethanide [ ] CH 6N 2O 2

Watts, C. E., Chem. Eng. News, 1952, 30, 2344

The isolated salt is a friction-sensitive explosive.

0502a. Methylammonium Nitrite [68897-47-2] CH 6N 2O 2

Hara, Y., Chem. Abs., 1982, 97, 55056

It is unstable at ambient temperature, and is formed on contact of the nitrate with sodium or potassium nitrites.

0502b. Methylenebis(Oxyamine) CH 6N 2O 2

Tollison, K. et al., J. Energetic Mat., 2001, 19(4), 277

Salts of this diamine (which probably does not exist as free base) with nitric and perchloric acids, dinitramine and trinitromethane were prepared, they were isolable, but far too unstable to consider as propellant explosive components. Many were too sensitive to consider handling on large scale.

0503. Methylammonium Nitrate (Methanaminium Nitrate) [1941-24-8] CH 6N 2O 3

  1. Biasutti, 1981, 145

  2. Miron, Y., J. Haz. Mat., 1980, 3, 301 321

  3. Hara, Y., Chem. Abs., 1982, 97, 55056

Rail tanks of 86% aqueous solutions or slurries of the salt exploded, apparently during pump-transfer operations [1]. The course and mechanism or thermal decomposition has been investigated. Traces of rust or copper powder catalyse and accelerate the decomposition, so corrosion prevention is an important aspect of safety measures [2]. It is of higher thermal stability than the chlorate salt, or the nitrite, which decomposes at ambient...
