Complex compounds such as M(Amin- Lingant)(ClO4)2 are very interesting. What do you think about
Biure as Lingand? I'm trying to prepare Biuret.


@LL
I have calculated, 6% Hexamin ist not enough for NH4 (Cu Hex2) (ClO4)3. System Berta is still interesting.

system Berta


Peter: Biure as ligand unfortunately, not try it. Without minimal 20 tests is impossible say what it will making. However, Copper hexamine perchlorate is tried almost 1000x. Always making, worked without failed. Basic prepare is the porridge under ammonium hydroxide usually 24%. Mix for porridge is TACP 88%, hexamine 6%, NH4ClO4 6%. This porridge is put on hot inert plate, 80 Celsius. From porridge during hot process arises dry, but relatively soft material. With low sensitive on friction. Even is possible scratching this material helping steel mapboards at this temperature and get dry material from plate. Recommend at 20 Celsia, of course. After is necessary making agglomerate 2x2 mm. Next steps are see in picture here return page. Agglomerate is possible store in closure in the jar on 1 month. And after filling again, without changes of properties. This process is all confirmed. Always is better preparation small amount. For example 4,4 TACP, 0,6g hexamine, 0,6g AP. Dr. ...LL....:cool:

Biuret might be interesting if able to coordinate/complexate...what is not sure because of its inherent acidity.
Do you have references for urea complexes? If yes then maybe biuret will do.
If it exists it would be Cu(BU)2(ClO4)2 with BU as H2N-CO-NH-CO-NH2 (or N3H5C2O2).
Cu(N3H5C2O2)2(ClO4)2 --> CuO + 3 N2 + 4 CO2 + 3 H2O + 2 HCl + H2

It would be more interesting to get the guanidine related biuret (H2N-C(=NH)-NH-C(=NH)-NH2) and that would for sure complexate strongly.

@Peter Lustig,
You wrote: "I have calculated, 6% Hexamin ist not enough for NH4 (Cu Hex2) (ClO4)3."
--> What do you mean by that, what have you calculated and enough for what?

I must korregieren, Biuren is harder than I thought. It forms the strong allkalischen a copper complex (biuret Wiki). Moreover, the production is not so simple.
I already have a new Ide, years ago I once dicyandiamide of fertilizer produced. This is simple and gives a clean product.With Chloratum there is a strong mix
For DCD there is information as a component in Exlposiv with strong oxidants as well as Lingant in complexes with oxidants. Patents for airbags. https://www.google.de/#q=dicyandiamid+komplex+patent
When I have time I will pursue the

I have enough guanidine nitrate, but it is not easy to produce free base. Another name for DCD is cyanoguanidine and thus very similar to the guanidine

My standard cap is 1,4g NHN with 0,1g SADS on top in a 223rem mag cartridge, but it is good to know alternatives....

In complex, the ratio of copper / hexamine 1: 1-2
TACP has 330,5g/mol 88g (88%) is 0,266mol Cu
Hex has 140g/mol 6g (6%) is 0,0428 mol Hex
0,266 / 0,0428 = 1 / 0,161 !!!
You get a mix of TACP and CHP ... what is good for the OB ...

These, bis(biuret) perchlorate and chlorate compouds were prepared already years ago. If I remeber correctly, the Cu bis(biuret) chlorate is a pale bluish-green powder, poorly soluble in water, more a secondary than a primary, as I remember, its explosion was flashless. The perchlorate, blue crystals, was, I think, easily soluble in water and hygroscopic, but more energetic than the chlorate. But after years I'm not sure... I have still a bunch of biuret, maybe I'll try something again with it (especially I'm interested in aminobiuret through nitrobiuret). My method of its manufacture was similar to two methods in these patents:
US 2524049 http://www.freepatentsonline.com/2524049.pdf
US 3150177 http://www.freepatentsonline.com/3150177.pdf

A less known patent, maybe someone is interested in it (easily preparable, high performance aminoguanidine complexes with perchlorates, usable as powerful primary explosives, e.g. the nickel (II) di(monoaminoguanidine) perchlorate - 8175 m/s, 330 kbar at 90% of TMD, Trauzl test 39,6 cm3/g, min. initiating charge for PETN, less than 3 mg):

Huh, so they said that these could be used as a primary and a secondary explosive... I am guessing that would be achieved by pressing to different densities?

No data on friction sensitivity or the such though...

Seems like it could be pretty exciting though... Since I am not experienced in chemistry like some of the senior members on this forum, I don't want to be synthesizing a relatively unknown and unstudied compound. I will be an observer for now, until more tests are performed... but an excited observer.

Anyways, what I am saying is... hurry up chemistry gurus...and start experimenting, because 3mg for initiation of PETN is beautiful.

Allways 2 minute shaking and after open and the jar slightly pressed. For adding oxygen. Recommend for 1,5 liter of plast container: 12g copper, 100g NH4OH 24%, 30g NH4ClO4. Output yield should be 33 - 36 grams of (dry) TACP. And almost all copper should be dissolved. Approximately 90 - 95 % of copper weight. Even it not much smell method. Open plast outdoor, mixing anyplace.....:cool:...Dr.


LL, from my calculations that seems like WAY too much NH4OH!!!, which is really the expensive component for me. Is this a scenario where the stiochomitry is not valid because we nee a lot more NH4OH for the ammonium perchlorate to dissolve?

Philou, from the help you gave me earlier I calculate what is necessary for 100 grams of product (95g TACP and 5g H2O). Does this look right?

AP: 68g
NH3 (25%):35 grams
CuO: 22grams

But this seems nothing close to what LL is using...?

Well,

I did this experiment and heated it up and let it sit in a hot water bath (near boiling) several times over several hours. I also added an extra 30ml of my ammonia, and an extra few grams of AP... because there was still copper oxide left.

Several hours later there was still copper oxide left, but I filtered it. The crystals are a very dark blue when wet (with the ammonia solution or the 91% alcohol used to filter) but when they dry they are a much paler blue... unlike my last batch...

Any ideas of what went wrong, it seems hard to get the really dark crystals (after drying)? Can anyone post pictures of their product so I can compare?

@MineMan Is your copper oxide lab grade? From my experience, pale blue TACP is due to lack of copper. Try dissolving some fine copper wire.
I'll post a photo tomorrow.

It ended up working... I think the color is very dependent on how dry the TACP is and if there is any ammonia left.

But here is my main problem, there is always copper oxide left in the TACP... and it is a pain to separate out (and expensive with all of the alcohol it takes!

I tried this again a few days ago, except I used and excess of all reactants (NH3, AP) except the CuO, which I purposely used a deficiency to ensure none was left over in the product. It still was! Even after heating the solution to near boiling, and letting it react for 2 days!

Any ideas??, really fed up... I would just use copper wire, but I don't have a magnetic stirrer, or have the time to shake the jar every 5 min for 4 hours...

I am really frustrated, and would like some help...:mad:

Your calculations seems to be right, are you sure your CuO is pure?
Fine copper wire dissolves quickly without agitation from my experience. I've never tried copper (II) oxide.

Next method: Get 30g AP + 100g NH3 aq + 12g Cu wire dia. 1,5 mm into plastic 1,5 liter jar. Temperature increase on 35 C . Closing the jar. Shaking 5 minute. Open, get into the new air. And close again. Shaking, hold temperature in the bucket with water 50 C- for example. This procedure should by time about 30 - 60 minute. Decrease on zero or - 5 Celsia. Plast jar cutting and remove Cu wire, weight 1 - 3g. Other separe. Cut jar is possible using as the funnel. Yield should by minimal 30g dry TeACP.
Dr.

LL,

I don't think you understand my question... I have watched that video countless times... but I don't have a ball mill to put the container in to rotate it continually. My understanding is the container has to be shaken nearly constantly or every few minutes when copper metal is used...

I do not understand your answer, are you saying the reaction only needs an hour to complete at 50C...?

Isn't 100g of NH3 overkill, from stiochiomistry I calculated 40grams of 25% NH3?

From previous long post:
---------------------------------------------------------------
2 NH4ClO4 + CuO + 2 NH3 --> Cu(NH3)4(ClO4)2 + H2O

Molecular masses:
So now by playing with atomic masses of atoms from the periodic table of the elements for N,H,Cl,O and Cu, you simply have to calculate the molecular mass of:
-NH3
-NH4ClO4
-CuO
-H2O
-Cu(NH3)4(ClO4)2
-----------------------------------------------------------------
So
-NH3 = 14+3*1 = 17 g/mol
-NH4ClO4 = 14+4*1+35.5+16*4 = 117.5 g/mol
-CuO = 79.5 g/mol
-H2O = 18 g/mol
-Cu(NH3)4(ClO4)2 = 63.5+17*4+99.5*2= 330.5 g/mol

From my equation one see that:
2*117.5 g of NH4ClO4 = 235 g
1*79.5g CuO = 79.5g
2*17g NH3 = 34 g (or 136g 25% NH3)

So for each g of CuO, one needs 2.956 g NH4ClO4 and 1.710g NH4OH 25%...
In your case with 22g CuO, you would need 37.62g NH4OH 25% and 65.03 g NH4ClO4...You have thus a little more NH4ClO4 and a little less NH4OH than wished.
I don't think it would matter much.

Of course to get the complex, you need all CuO to be dissolved.
Maybe you need more NH4OH to fully dissolve the CuO and then evaporate back to lower volumer; or more exposure time and shaking at ambiant T°. The affinity of NH3 for Cu(2+) is very high (see high Kc constant of complexation).

Otherwise the only explanation is that your CuO is unpure and something else is present.

See US4746380 for the glycine adduct with NH4NO3

The adduct for hexamine and NH4NO3 is described in US3166452

Glycine forms an adduct with Strontium Perchlorate which is useful as a red flare composition.

It would be no surprise if that adduct is also detonable.

See US3296045 attached

Just as interesting and probably more powerful/sensitive...
Glycine nitrate/NH4NO3
or

The melting of Cu acetate and NH4ClO4 might be interesting but do it in tiny quantity just in case...Cu tends to catalyse many decomposition reactions...

( 10+22+37 = 63+5.6)


As exposed by LoL,
What is your question or claim about this?

???
Cu + HMTA + NH4ClO4 will not give TACuP/hexamine complex at a significant rate...
You need water, air and NH3 (or NH4OH) to get something significant at a significant speed.

Maybe that heating nano Cu powder with HMTA and NH4ClO4 will cause an explosion...but I'm not sure the copper is needed at all since HMTA diperchlorate is already an explosive on its own.

NH4 will not be formed into your equation
NH4 doesn't exist alone...it needs a counter anion because it is NH4(+)....
Maybe NH3 and H(+)...then the H(+) needs to be catched by O2 itself oxydizing the Cu to CuO (thus a discrete form of Cu(2+)).

CuO + HMTA + NH4ClO4 will indeed provide some TACuP/hexamine...if water is present.

Are you sure about your calculations?
What is the meaning of it?
You wrote "( 10+22+37 = 63+5.6)"
To me it is
69 = 68,6 (if the dot is not a multiplication point)
or 69= 93 (if the dot is a multiplication point)
Anyway both are wrong...
