Fulminic acid is a chemical compound with a molecular formula HCNO.

A common reaction of Imidogen occurs with fulminic acid (HCNO).

Silver fulminate (AgCNO) is the highly explosive silver salt of fulminic acid.

The subject of his dissertation was possibly "Artificial Formation of Urea from Fulminic Acid".

Working with cyanic acid and fulminic acid, they correctly deduce that isomerism was caused by differing arrangements of atoms within a molecular structure.

Fulminic acid and its salts (fulminates), for instance mercury fulminate, are very dangerous, and are often used as detonators for other explosive materials, and are examples of primary explosives.

Of these, mercuric fulminate, the most common, is used, mixed with niter, to fill percussion caps, charge cartridges, etc. - Fulminic acid is made by the action of nitric acid on alcohol.

Scholl made a name for himself in the scientific community at a young age through publications on the chemistry of fulminic acid, disproving the structures of this molecule proposed by August Kekulé and Edward Divers.
