Silver nitride Uses

This material is not explosive, and is not a true silver nitride. Silver nitride (CAS NO.20737-02-4) is used to coat mirrors and shotguns.

Silver nitride Production

Silver nitride (CAS NO.20737-02-4) is formed when silver oxide or silver nitrate is dissolved in concentrated solutions of ammonia, causing formation of a silver-amide or imide complex which subsequently breaks down to Ag₃N.

Silver nitride Consensus Reports

Silver and its compounds are on the Community Right-To-Know List.

Silver nitride Safety Profile

Severe explosion hazard when shocked or heated to above 100°C. Impact-sensitive when wet. Upon decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NO_x. See also SILVER COMPOUNDS, NITRIDES, and EXPLOSIVES, HIGH.

Silver nitride Specification

Silver nitride , its cas register number is 20737-02-4. It is an explosive chemical compound, and was formerly referred to as fulminating silver, but this can cause confusion with silver fulminate, or silver azide. The fulminate and azide compounds do not form from ammoniacal solutions of Ag₂O.
