Permanganate (Mike Van Pelt; Norman L. Reitzel) |
 | | If you get too much permanganate, the manganese oxide separates as oily droplets, and they are of the same order of sensitivity to shock as nitroglycerine. |
| | Others have posted the possible products here: Permanganic acid and manganese heptoxide, both of which are green. |
| | And potent oxidizers, which I knew (that was the whole point of the mixture) and in the case of Mn2O7, explosive, which I wish I had known at the time. |
