Gas generation via metal complexes of guanylurea nitrate

Abstract

Gas generant compositions are provided which compositions react to produce nitrogen gas and which compositions include at least one complex of guanylurea nitrate with at least one metal element having an atomic number of 21-30 and 39-50 and sufficient oxidizer such that, upon combustion reaction initiation of the gas generating composition, reaction products including a quantity of nitrogen gas are produced. Also, related methods of making a gas generating composition and associate methods of gas generation are provided.
