Ionic liquids and explosives
« on: May 07, 2013, 11:45:29 AM »
Hello all!

I'm completely new to this site so apologies in advance if this is not the right place to ask this question.

I'm currently a Masters level student developing a project looking into the properties of explosives when dissolved in ionic liquids for further applications using headspace and LC-MS analysis in detection.

At the moment I have the tentative title “Explosive Solubility and Stability in Ionic Liquids” which is likely to change to a certain degree however, I am just starting a preliminary lit review and was wondering if anyone knows of some decent sources / papers / websites to gather information on which ionic liquids can be specifically used in this area.

the type of things i'm starting to try and find information on are general diversity (structure, substituents, nature of cations and anions, mpt, bpt vapour pressure etc.)

Thank you in advance!

N2O5(semi-explosive) readily dissolves in HNO3, which is an ionic liquid ([H+][NO3-]) and in this instance, a solvent. I'm way too drunk right now to think of more, but email me or something we'll see what we can find.

N2O5 is only explosive with organic contamination.
