  Benzene, 1,3,5-trinitro- (99-35-4) is used as explosives.Explosive performance is similar to TNT and picric acid.

Aromatic nitro compounds, such as TRINITROBENZENE, range from slight to strong oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. The aromatic nitro compounds may explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents. The explosive tendencies of aromatic nitro compounds are increased by the presence of multiple nitro groups.

Reported in EPA TSCA Inventory.

Poison by ingestion and intravenous routes. Mutation data reported. A severe explosion hazard when shocked or exposed to heat. Trinitrobenzene is considered a powerful high explosive and has more shattering power than TNT. Although it is less sensitive to impact than TNT, it is not used much because it is difficult to produce. The complex with potassium trimethyl stannate explodes at room temperature. Forms heat-sensitive explosive complexes with alkyl or aryl metallates (e.g., lithium or potassium salts of trimethyl-, triethyl-, or triphenyl-germanate, -silanate, or -stannate). Can react vigorously with reducing materials. When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of NO_x and explodes.
