Explanation

Its scientific name is trinitromethane, and its pure product is colorless crystal. Extremely acidic, there are two types of tautomers, nitro and acid, the former being colorless and present in acidified solutions and ether or carbon disulfide solutions; The latter is yellow and exists in water or alkaline solution. It is easily soluble in water and general organic solvents, and can easily form sensitive salts with organic or inorganic bases. Oxygen balance 37.1%, explosion heat 3.12MJ/kg. Extremely strong chemical reaction ability, capable of conducting reactions such as condensation, addition, and substitution. It can not be used as single explosive, but can be used to synthesize a variety of strong explosives. It can be separated by nitrating acetylene with fuming nitric acid, and then distilling the nitrating liquid in azeotropic distillation. It is an indispensable raw material for manufacturing explosive.
