Abstract

Three nitrocarbons, compounds C,(N02), composed only of nitro groups attached at nitrogen to~ arbon,~ have been prepared tetranitromethane: he~ anitroethane,~ and he~ anitrobenzene.'.~ Tetranitroethylene and dinitroacetylene are known as their 9, lO- anthracene adducts, but the pure nitrocarbons have not been isolated. 6 Calculations are said to show that octanitropropane is unstable and not preparable owing to a highly ...
