We have investigated nitratocuprates(ii) as well as basic copper(ii) nitrate as potential combined oxidizers and (green) coloring agents. A formulation based on ammonium nitratocuprate(ii) nitrate and boron has promising properties for civilian fireworks. Copper-based high-nitrogen compounds show good flame colors as pure compounds. However, the implementation of ready-for-use pyrotechnics from these substances proved to be much more challenging. A promising candidate for civil pyrotechnic applications would be a mixture based on copper(ii) nitrate pentahemihydrate and 5-aminotetrazole.
