The fulminate ion is a pseudohalic ion because its charge and reactivity are similar to those of the halogens. The name is derived from the Latin fulminātus, meaning to explode like lightning, and reflects that fulminate salts are friction-sensitive explosives due to the instability of the ion.
Fulminant (/ ˈ f ʊ l m ɪ n ən t /) is a medical descriptor for any event or process that occurs suddenly and escalates quickly, and is intense and severe to the point of lethality, i.e., it has an explosive character. [1]

Fulminate is the anion [C − ≡N + −O −] or any of its salts. For historical reasons, the fulminate functional group is understood to be −O−N + ≡C − as in isofulminic acid; [2] whereas the group −C≡N + O − is called nitrile oxide.
Mercury(II) fulminate, or Hg(CNO) 2, is a primary explosive. It is highly sensitive to friction, heat and shock and is mainly used as a trigger for other explosives in percussion caps and detonators. Mercury(II) cyanate, though its chemical formula is identical, has a different atomic arrangement, making the cyanate and fulminate anionic isomers.

The cyanate ion is an isomer of the much-less-stable fulminate anion, CNO − or [C − ≡N + −O −]. [1] The cyanate ion is an ambidentate ligand, forming complexes with a metal ion in which either the nitrogen or oxygen atom may be the electron-pair donor. It can also act as a bridging ligand.
From his eastern Parthian Empire in present-day Iran and Iraq, King Vologeses I in 58 AD invaded Armenia, a client kingdom of Rome.Emperor Nero ordered Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo, the new Legate of Cappadocia, to manage the matter.
