Nitrogen triiodide(Touch Powder) is an extremely sensitive dark purple- black powder . If dry it can spontaneously explode , even with little contact.
Synthesis:
It can be prepared from urine , potash , ocean kelp and water
First, urine is boiled until urea is concentrated(it looks like coca cola) . Then , potash is added and (you decide how it is done best for you) the ammonia gas is bubbled into water to create ammonium hydroxide(Ammonia Solution)
i.CH4N2O + Potash ---> NH3 + Alkali Carbonate/Bicarbonate Salts ii. NH3 + H2O ---> NH4OH
Secondly , Sulfuric acid and Dried Ocean Kelp are mixed . Then collect with a cold glass lid the iodine fumes and let them turn into crystals.
H2SO4 + Ocean Kelp---> I2 + Other Things
Finally , Iodine Crystals and Ammonia Solution are reacted to form the explosive .
8NH4OH + 3I2 --> 2NI3 + 6NH4I + 8H2O
It can react furthermore with more ammonia if it is not anhydrous enough to form a complex , which is more resistant to degradation(however is still really explosive) and thus preferred.
2NI3 + 2NH4OH ---> 2NI3*NH3 + 2H2O
Hazards:
The product is really unstable , thus it is unwise to make more than you need due to an explosion risk and harm from shrapnel(especially if dry). It releases toxic iodine fumes upon combustion.
2NI3 ---> N2 + 3I2
The synthesis also uses sulfuric acid(Which will also react explosively is too much water is in the kelp or added into it) , ammonia solution and potash which are corrosive. Ammonia gas is a toxic lachrymator . Ammonium Iodide(which is made as a side product) will release more iodine fumes if exposed to light . Do not attempt this if you do not know what you are doing.
Uses:
Too unstable to be used commercially; however could be used as mineral or demolition mining explosions in a survival situation or when restarting civilization.
