own crystals should explode it in suspension. Iodine chloride would be the safer, albeit more toxic choice in a synthesis.

I've seen reference to NI3.NH3 being used to convert acetylene to tetraiodoethylene as well.
This is regardig the chloramine analogue of PETN:
<b>Attempts toward the preparation of tetracyanomethane. Tetrakis(N, N-dichloroaminomethyl)methane, a very powerful explosive</b>.
Gryszkiewicz-Trochimowski, Eustache; Gryszkiewicz-Trochimowski, Oleg; Levy, Robert S. Memorial des Poudres (1958), 40 109-12.
Abstract
C(CH2Br)4 was treated with p-MeC6H4SO2NH2, the resulting tetramide recrystd. with AcOH and hydrolyzed with H2SO4 to C(CH2NH2)4.4H2SO4 (I), m. 302-3.
Treating I with a BaCl2 soln. and distg. the mixt. with solid KOH gave 54% C(CH2NH2)4.H2O (II), b15 147-9, m. 40-1. Heating slowly a mixt. of 6.2 g.
II and 32 g. PhCHO (III) to 100 and keeping it at 100 1 hr. gave a yellow oil which solidified after H2O and excess III were removed in vacuo.
Grinding with EtOH, drying, and washing several times with EtOH and petr. ether gave 16 g. C(CH2N:CHPh)4 (IV), m. 172-3 (1:1 tetrahydrofuran-Me2CO).
NaOCl was prepd. by introducing the calcd. amt. of Cl into a cooled soln. of 18 g. NaOH in 85 cc. H2O. (Caution! Any free Cl must be removed by an
air stream, otherwise spontaneous fires result on adding I.) To the cooled soln. was added 15 cc. glacial AcOH and then, with hand stirring, the
total amt. of 4.5 g. I. The temp. was very slowly raised to 70-5 (it must not exceed 80). After several min., I dissolved and an oil formed. On
rapid cooling in cold H2O, the oil solidified and the aq. layer was decanted. Washing with H2O, and drying first on paper then in a desiccator contg.
H2SO4 gave 5.25 g. C(CH2NCl2)4 (V), m. 54-4.5 (Et2O-petr. ether). In storage, IV decompd. above -15 with evolution of Cl. It was believed that V
exploded more vigorously on heating than Hg fulminate. Attempts to convert IV into C(CN)4 (VI) on heating to 300 in the presence of Pd gave only a
small amt. of PhMe and an intractable residue. Attempts to convert V into VI by various dehydrochlorination procedures were fruitless. Thermal
decompn. of V in (CH2Br)2 gave rise to the evolution of Cl instead of the expected HCl.

The chlorination of monoisopropylamine glyphosate (roundup) failed. Roundup in 50% acetic acid was added to 12.5% NaOCl, a lot of gassing and foaming
resulted with the distict smell of chloramine. No product separated, temperature wasnt monitored, but it only got slightly warm to the touch on
addition. Isopropyldichloramine is known and its preparation is in JACS, 69 1539-40 (1947):
"i-Propyldichloramine was prepared by a modification of the above procedures. To an ice-cooled concentrated aqueous solution of 95 g. (I mole) of
i-propylamine hydrochloride (prepared in situ) was added slowly 2.25 moles of aqueous sodium hypochlorite (prepared by adding chlorine to cold 15%
aqueous sodium hydroxide, 1.6 moles hypochlorous acid per liter). Simultaneously with this addition over two to three hours was added 6 N hydrochloric
acid at such a rate that the acidity was maintained between pH 5.6 and 6.6. Bromcresol green and chlorphenol red papers can be used as criteria if the
solution is allowed to creep into the paper so as to give an indicator zone ahead of the bleached zone. After two hours' subsequent stirring in the
cold, the heavy oil was separated, washed once with 30 cc. cold water, twice with 50-cc. portions of 5% sodium thiosulfate, once with cold water,
twice with cold 50% sulfuric acid and finally twice with cold water. The crude yield (97 g., 76% of theoretical) contained 94% of the theoretical
electropositive chlorine content. Distillation at 41-43' (15 mm.) resulted in 70% recovery of yellow oil (d20/4 1.165; n23D 1.4572) which contained
99.8% of the calculated electropositive chlorine content."
Depending on how readily glyphosate is chlorinated it might just be a case of it using up all the NaOCl. http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=18092577

The tetrabrominated derivative of ethylenediamine was prepared. Its mentioned in the JCS article I attached into this thread, by adding
ethylenediamine to hypobromous acid. I formed this in situ by adding NaBr to NaOCl.
12g acetic acid was added to 2g ethylenediamine in 12ml water. This was then slowly poured into a cooled solution of 28g sodium bromide in 140ml 12.5%
sodium hypochlorite. An orange precipitate formed immediately on addition that was filtered. Dissolving the precipitate in DCM in which it is very
soluble and evaporating gave brilliant orange crystals having the melting point reported in the literature (62°C).
It ignited with a fssht with a fair quantity of smoke. Heating on a spoon it first melted the puffed off. It explodes readily when struck with a
hammer on steel. I wasnt prepared to heat more then a pinch at a time since the JCS article mentions a "very violent detonation" on heating, they dont
mention the conditions but thats likely under confinement.

Taking it to another level of power and instability are N-perchlorylamines. There are not many are well known, besides N-perchlorylpiperidine,
C5H10NClO3, which US 3332955 describes as a dangerously sensitive oil and perchlorylamide salts.

Does N-tetrabromoethylenediamine work as a complexing agent? I figure each of the 4 N atoms has a lone electron pair.
[(Br2N-CH2-CH2-NBr2)2Cu](ClO4)2 looks interesting...

I had tried to complex the tetrachloro compound, but to no avail. I mentioned the attempt on first page of this thread by mixing a DCM solution of
TCED with a water solution of copper sulphate, there was no noticable change in the two layers.

Here's another one. It is the most basic organic chloramine from what I can tell and quite unstable. Methylenechloroamine CH2=NCl made from action of
formaldehyde onto chloramine in water solution which results from NH4Cl and NaClO (Cross, Bevan, Bacon, Journal of the Chemical Soc. of London. 97,
2406). Needles (from CHCl3). It is very unstable in air. Decomposes at 50-60°C explosively under formation of NH4Cl. Soluble in 20-30 parts ether at
room temperature. In benzene it appears to polymerize.

I have the original french article for what that is the abstract of. I have tried to form the RDX analogue once, though failed. I no longer know the
exact process I tried.
I OCR'ed and added the machine translation to the end.

Thank you for that paper. I forgot to add that Cross also patented a method for the preparation of the monomer compound in English pat. 15303 (1909).
No idea where to get this though.

From the citation above by Formatik
http://www.rsc.org/delivery/_ArticleLinking/DisplayArticleFo...
on pg 12
Action of Sodium Hypochlorite on Hexamethylenetetramine.
MARCEL DELEPINE ( Bull. Soc. chim., 1911, [IV], 9, 1025--1029 ).
Sodium hypochlorite reacts with aqueous solutions of
hexamethylenetetramine to form N-Dichloropentamethylenetetramine,
but in presence of acetic acid gives N-trichlorotrimethylenetriamine
( 1,3,5-trichlorohexahydrotriazine ), which is isomeric with Cross,
Bevan, and Bacon's methylenechloroamine ( Trans,, 1910, 97, 2404).
N-Dichloropentamethyenetetramine, C5H10N4CI2, crystallises in brilliant
lamellae: from water, or in octahedra from ether, possesses the odour
peculiar to compounds containing chlorine and nitrogen, is sparingly
soluble in water, and moderately so in ether or benzene, and deflagrates
at 78-82', giving an odour of carbylamines. It can be kept for long
periods in sealed tubes, but decomposes in the course of a, few days on
exposure to air, forming ammonium chloride and hexnmethylenetetramine
hydrochloride. With sodium hydroxide in alcohol, ammonia is produced,
and the chlorine is removed as alkali chloride.
1,3,5-Trichlorohexahydrotriazine ( Abstr., 1899, i, 326 ),
. .NCl --- CH2
. . / . . . . . . . \
CH2 . . . . . NCl
. . \ . . . . . . . /
. .NCl --- CH2
crystallises in brilliant needles, has a slight odour of chlorine, is nearly
insoluble in water, but soluble in alcohol or chloroform, and deflagrates at
78 º, evolving fumes having the odour of hydrogen cyanide and carbylamines,
and leaving a residue of ammonium chloride. It decomposes in air, or when
kept in solution in organic solvents. With sodium hydroxide in alcohol,
it yelds ammonia and sodium chloride, and the residue on distillation
with a dilute acid gives formic acid : this decomposition
appears to take place in accordance with the equations :
(1) (CH,:NCl), + 3NaOEt = 3NaC1+ 3CH(NH)*OEt ;
(2) CH(NH)*OEt + 2H20 = H*CO2H + EtOH + NH2.

I had independently thought of using the measured amount of this in a chlorinated
organic solvent for anhydrous production of chloramine, to then react with formaldehyde
to form Methylenechloramine as described in the paper above. A small beaker of the
wetted mixture would be placed inside a larger canister with a airtight lid

Would reacting difluoramine, HNF2, with methyl perchlorate, CH3OClO3, dissolved in a solvent to prevent it from exploding, produce (CH3)2NF2[+]
[-]ClO4 ?
Might be an interesting energetic compound, decent oxygen balance.
Dimethyl sulfate is known to be a potent alkylating agent, easily methylating amines to quaternary amines, so one would think methyl perchlorate,
despite being extremely sensitive, would also work.
Some more information about HNF2,

this is not really a direct alkylation, but also perhaps interesting:

I wonder what is the result of the action of a base on such chloramines...
Does someone have infos on that?
R-NCl2 + 2 NaOH --> R-N(OH)2 + 2 NaCl
R-N(OH)2 --> R-N=O + H2O
Might be very valuable if it works... 
H2N-CH2-CH2-NH2 -Cl2-> Cl2N-CH2-CH2-NCl2
Cl2N-CH2-CH2-NCl2 -NaOH-> O=N-CH2-CH2-N=O
O=N-CH2-CH2-N=O <==> HO-N=CH-CH=N-OH

The reaction between a base and chloramines is likely very slow without heating. Hypochlorite is produced, which would likely oxidize any intermediate
nitroso groups to nitro.
For example, I think the reaction between nitrogen trichloride and aqueous base is:
(4)NCl3 + (18)OH[-] --> (3)Cl[-] + (9)OCl[-] + (9)H2O + (2)N2
Nitrogen trichloride is hydrolyzed by hot water.
Nitrogen trifluoride is inert to pure water at 133° C but reacts slowly with aqueous base at 100° C to give nitrite and fluoride. NF3 is also
hydrolyzed by hot salt water, or hot hydrochloric acid, but not by dilute sulfuric acid.
http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:vkG5Vh7ZuWEJ:w...
Information about the preparation of compounds containing the tris(difluoramino)methyl group:
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/3758555.html
Although --NF2 groups make energetic compounds more sensitive, geminal --NF2 groups (two difluoramino groups on the same carbon atom) are much more
thermally stable than geminal nitro groups.
Preparation of Difluoramine HNF2
The aqueous fluorination of urea to N,N-difluorourea (H2NCONF2) gives highest yields at a pH range between 4 to 8. Using highly concentrated alkaline
solutions instead gave tetrafluorohydrazine (N2F4), wheras only moderately basic solutions did not favor formation of any products that contained N-F
bonds.
Difluorourea was isolated from the reaction mixture by five successive extractions of the cold, aqueous solution of fluorinated guanidinium
hydrofluoride with ethyl acetate. After the first extraction, only one fourth of the volume of initial solvent is used. The combined portions of
extraction solvent were dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent evaporated at room temperature. The residue remaining after evaporation of
the solvent was subjected to reduced pressures of less than 1 mm Hg, the difluorourea evaporated from the residue and was condensed at (minus) -15
degC. Through repetition of the sublimation process and using fractional condensation of the evaporating material to effect separation from water and
acetic acid, difluorourea was isolated as a white, crystalline solid, with a melting point of 42 - 44 degC.
The difluorourea is not isolated, but is converted to difluoramine by direct addition of mineral acid to the aqueous solution of fluorinated guanidine
hydrofluoride (or of fluorinated urea) followed by heating the solution to drive off the difluoramine, which is then collected by cold condensation.
The yields of pure difluoramine from this procedure are 10 - 15% of the theoretical amount. Traces of perfluoroguanidine gas, which could later be
condensed at around -195 degC, are also given off by the reaction. V. Grakauskas, K. Baum. Journal American Chem. society. volume 92, p2096. (1970)
