Properties
Deliquescent crystals, dec 486°. d25 2.806. Freely sol in
water: 557 g/l00 ml; a satd aq soln contains 84.8% w/w at 25°: Smith,
Ring, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 59, 1889 (1937). Much less sol in 60% perchloric acid (5.63% w/w).
Forms a monohydrate stable to 43°. Sol in many organic solvents,
e.g., aniline, pyridine, benzene, toluene, nitromethane, glycerol,
nitrobenzene, and chlorobenzene. Solvated crystals have been obtained
contg 6 mols aniline, 4 mols pyridine, 1 mol benzene, 1 mol toluene.
These compds explode readily when struck: Brinkley, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 62, 3524 (1940).Caution
