Editing Lead styphnate (section)

==Preparation==
Lead styphnate (or, as it was then called, trinitro-orcinate) was discovered along with many other thrinitroresorcinate salts by British chemist [[John Stenhouse]] in 1871, the synthesis route involving action of trinitroresorcinol on [[lead acetate]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Matyáš |first=Robert |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wfJHAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA138 |title=Primary Explosives |last2=Pachman |first2=Jiří |date=2013-03-12 |publisher=Springer Science & Business Media |isbn=978-3-642-28436-6 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Stenhouse |first=J. |url=http://archive.org/details/philtrans04851702 |title=Contributions to the History of Orcin.--No. I.

In 1919, Austrian chemist Edmund von Herz first established a preparation of anhydrous normal lead styphnate by the reaction of magnesium styphnate with lead acetate in the presence of [[nitric acid]].<ref>{{cite journal|author=J.R.
