Question: Did you ever make chemicals that explode?

A lot of the chemicals that I have worked with have the potential to explode but I’ve never specifically worked with chemicals that are intended to explode. However I would love to!
One of the chemical reactions that is used in manufacturing the medicine I currently work on produces hydrogen which needs to be handled with extreme care (Look up the Hindenburg disaster for an example of the hazards of hydrogen; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindenburg_disaster)
