Description
Bromine azide (BrN3) is a chemical compound that exists in the form of crystals or a red liquid. It is characterized by its strong oxidizing properties and is highly reactive, making it prone to explosion when subjected to shock or heat.
Uses
Used in Explosive Industry:
Bromine azide is used as a strong oxidizing agent for the production of detonators and other explosive devices. Its high reactivity and explosive nature make it a crucial component in the creation of these devices, ensuring their effectiveness and reliability in various applications.
Hazard
Explosive when heated or shocked. Will
ignite combustible materials on contact.
Safety Profile
A poison. Can explode
spontaneously. The solid, liquid and vapor
are shock-sensitive explosives. Concentrated
solutions in organic solvents may explode.
Moderate fire hazard in the form of vapor
by chemical reaction. A powerful oxidant.
Moderately explosive when exposed to heat.
The liquid explodes on contact with arsenic,
sodium, silver foil, or phosphorus.
Incompatible with Sb, ethyl ether, Ag,
metals. When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of Brand
explodes. See also BROMINE and
AZIDES.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 13973-87-0 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,3,9,7 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 13973-87:
(7*1)+(6*3)+(5*9)+(4*7)+(3*3)+(2*8)+(1*7)=130
130 % 10 = 0
So 13973-87-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

A new twist: The single-crystal structural analysis of BrN3 is described. In contrast to IN3, which forms chains, BrN3 forms a helical structure in the solid state (see picture). Such a structural feature has not been previously observed in covalent p-block azide chemistry.
