Hi. Hopefully you enjoy this video. C2N14 has such a big reputation, but has it fairly earned it??

I'll upload a second channel video of the C2N2Br4 + NaN3 video maybe.. tonight or tomorrow (before the main channel video goes public so they'll both be published at the same time, I just finished this video first and thought i'd show you!).

Thanks a lot guys, it is really cool to be able to do chemistry like this (if a little scary at points!)

I make C2N14 in my shed (azidoazide azide) - Ex&F

description coming soon

Hmmmmmmmm.... Yeah definitely not as sensitive as old nitroglycerin crystals.... It would appear to be explosive, and sensitive, but it's not like so sensitive that it detonates if you look at it funny. Is it deflagrating or detonating? Also, did they guess the structure without NMR?

I thought CuNTZ was approximately as sensitive as this, or the gold fulminate.

ExplosionsandFire

Always detonating, no delfagrations at all. They got the structure the xray cryst obviously, I think they ran nmr too. The original 1961 paper would've only had access to very basic nmr at the time, if it existed at all.... I dont think it did. And even these days, picking the signal differences between a tetraazide and 4 azide groups doesnt sound all that trivial

ExplosionsandFire

Yes, and about the same power kinda too. While C2N14 is impressive in it's own right, I dont think it really wins in any category, all things considered
