Sodium nitrate/urea complex
I have once heared (do not remember where) that a sodium nitrate/urea complex exist and that it has a VOD of around 1700 m/s. I also heared that it
could be used as a primary explosive.
Does anyone have any information about it?

When you use the term complex you sort of lost me. What exactly do you mean by complex? Do you have specific patents or material to site an examples
from - as I can't see those two salts as primary material in themselves what-so--ever and 1700 is seriously slow.

Hmm... I heard something about a pesticide being used with urea to form an explosive of sorts but I was under the impression that it was sodium
chlorate/perchlorate or similar. I don't think such an explosive has much utility except for dubious purposes though.

If you melt together NaNO3 (sodium nitrate) + urea, you will get NaN3 (sodium azide). It will not pure NaN3, but you can purified it. And you can make
lead azide (Pb(N3)2), if you mix pure NaN3 with pure lead acetate, or lead nitrate, and recristall in water.

Azide isn't that simple.

Urea nitrate is not very sensitive for impact or friction and is defenitely not a primary. I do remember that nitrourea was pretty sensitive and I've
seen NU + 20% KNO3 beeing mentioned as potential use as initiating explosives...

Are you sure that this is correct ?
Can you provide further details concerning this reaction ,
any conditions for the synthesis , and/or references ?

I am wondering if Azide can be prepared that simple why the explosives manufacturers all around the world have been ever wasting their time and money
for the much more cumbersome Sodium Amide/N2O process in Azide preparations?!!

I am *very* skeptical of that reaction route ,
precisely the reason that I am asking for
further details ......because it seems to be one
of those online chemistry " urban legends "
that is 100% pure fiction , requiring no further
purification .

Especially since a mix of ammonium nitrate, urea, and only about 18% H2O is a common "liquid nitrogen" sprayable agricultural fertilizer and is not
known for exploding. It also makes an excellent refrigerant when you add the water.

Historians would be the most frantic if such a precedure for Azide synthesis goes working. They have to rewrite history of explosives, presumably
putting Azides chapter before Gunpowder era!

It occurs to me that the salt of sodium bisulfate with urea would metathetically
react with sodium nitrate to form urea nitrate. If done in alcohol, because of the
drying power of the resulting sodium sulfate, it might even go all the way to form
nitrourea. Not a primary though.

sodium nitrate/urea complex
"Urea Sodium Nitrate" see PATR 2700 U104. I had book К.
Сулайманкулов:
„Соединения карбамида с
неорганическими
солями“ 1971 (Compounds of urea with inorganic salts by K. Sulaimankulov), there was mentioned
NaNO3.CO(NH2)2 complex salt and some other nitrate/urea complexes (besides of calurea also AgNO3.CO(NH2)2 and Zn(NO3)2.4CO(NH2)2.2H2O)

The formula is for a nitrite not a nitrate. But it probably does
not work (certainly not as a primary) or by now everyone would know about it.

Zinc, there is nothing about making it but I guess that it can be easily obtained by mixing water solutions of urea and sodium nitrite (the compound
from PATR) or nitrate (compound from the russian book).

Nitrates and nitrites are not the same materials and the results from either will also not be the same.

I know but important is result. Both sodium urea nitrite and nitrate seem to be cheap improvised high explosives, maybe good replacements for urea
nitrate if someone have no acids at hand.

Urea Nitrite ?
Urea Nitrite ( if it forms at all ) in aqueous solution is unstable and decomposes
straight away, thus (NH2)2CO•HNO2 -> CO2 + H2O + N2 + NH3 . The Ammonia
thus formed immediately reacts with a second mol of Nitrous acid and also
decomposes thus NH4NO2 -> 2 H2O + N2. Overall one mol of Urea destroys
two mols of nitrous acid , the reason this is used to purify nitric acid.
(NH2)2CO + 2 HNO2 -> CO2 + 3 H2O + 2 N2
A question I have is whether anhydrous Urea Nitrite can be formed at all.
Urea hydrochloride may metathetically interact with Sodium Nitrite thus
(H2N)2CO•HCl + NaNO2 -> NaCl + (H2N)2CO•HNO2
The choice of solvent is key , MeOH meets the anhydrous conditions.
Urea alone solvates , 35 gms per 100 gms MeOH @ ~ 40 ºC
the solubility of the hydrochloride should be similar
Urea Hydrochloride
White to pale-yellow deliquescent crystals.
Freely soluble in water and alcohol; moderately soluble in Chloroform
soluble in DMSO: ~ 26 gm/L ,
4.43 gms NaNO2 per 100 gms MeOH @ ~ 19.5 ºC
NaCl is practically insoluble in alcohol , and the urea nitrite , if formed ,
should remain in solution and readily obtained by chilling.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Similarly Urea Nitrate crystals are insoluble in cold water, but soluble in hot.
Also related, Nitrourea may be obtained in a pure condition by recrystallization
from ether, benzene, or chloroform, in which solvents it does not dearrange.

I found this file on another forum. My friend said he could made it this way. I'm not sure this process is correct.
