The Dipicryl sulphide ( 2,4,6,2 ', 4', 6'-Hexanitrodiphenylsulfid ) is an explosive organic nitro compound .

Presentation and extraction

The compound can be obtained by reacting 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene with sodium thiosulfate in an alkaline solution.

properties

Dipicryl sulfide is a crystalline solid. The connection is particularly explosive when dry due to impact, friction, heat and other ignition sources and is subject to the Explosives Act . A desensitization is possible with 10% of water.

Explosive properties:
Oxygen balance	−56.1%
Nitrogen content	18.42%
Lead block bulge	32.0 cm ³ g ⁻¹
Detonation velocity	7000 m s ⁻¹
Sensitivity to impact	6 Nm
Deflagration point	305-320 ° C

use

The compound is used as a relatively temperature-insensitive explosive.
