Would the structure of Dinitroacetylene be... NO2-C(triple bond)C-NO2? If the triple bond makes it prone to exploding then woud something like NO2-O-C(triple bond)C-O-NO2 be even more explosive?
The chemical formula for dinitroacetylene is C4H2N2O4.
The structure of dinitroacetylene consists of two carbon atoms triple bonded to each other, with two nitro groups (NO2) attached to each carbon atom.
Dinitroacetylene is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of 140-150 degrees Celsius. It is highly reactive and has a strong, pungent odor.
Dinitroacetylene is primarily used in the production of explosives, such as TNT and RDX. It is also used in the synthesis of other chemicals and as a propellant in rocket engines.
Yes, dinitroacetylene is toxic and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It is also a potential fire and explosion hazard and should be handled with caution.
