title: Reversible complex formation in organic chemical microscopy: a simple specific test for HMX.
abstract: The decomposition of molecular complexes can sometimes be rendered optically distinctive and highly specific for the identification of certain compounds in the presence of closely related ones. The procedure is exemplified by a simple and specific qualitative test for HMX(1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazacyclo-octane).
