Hazard Predictions

Silver nitrate can initiate the explosive polymerization of acrylonitrile (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 69).

Nitration mixtures, such as 2-cyanopropyl nitrate in acetonitrile, are potentially explosive (Bretherick, L. 1996. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards. Fifth Ed. Urben, P.G., Ed. Butterworth-Heinemann, Boston, MA. Vol. 2, p 231).
