Usage

General Description

4,6-Dinitrobenzofuroxane is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H3N3O6. It is a nitro-substituted heterocyclic compound that is primarily used as a high-energy density material for explosives and propellants. It is highly sensitive to friction, impact, and heat, making it a potentially dangerous and unstable compound. Due to its explosive nature, 4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxane is typically handled and used with extreme caution by trained professionals in controlled laboratory settings. Its chemical structure and properties make it a potentially valuable compound for military and industrial applications, but its safety and stability issues must be carefully managed and monitored.

Oxidation of Cobalt(II) Tetrapyrroles in the Presence of an Electron Acceptor

The interaction of cobalt(II) porphyrins and chlorin with 4,6-dinitrobenzofurazan 1-oxide (dnbfo) has been studied by spectroscopic methods.Initially all the cobalt(II) porphyrins form molecular complexes with the electron acceptor dnbfo, but with time a complete electron transfer is observed.This results in the formation of cobalt(III) porphyrins and the anion radical of dnbfo.The electron transfer is facilitated in the presence of molecular oxygen.The rate of oxidation is dependent on the porphyrin ring substituents as well as on the solvent mixture used.In the case of cobalt(II) 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylchlorin first oxidation occurs to cobalt(II) 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin and this is followed by metal oxidation to give the cobalt(III) porphyrin.The oxidation of the cobalt(II) porphyrins and formation of the anion radical of dnbfo has been monitored by ESR spectroscopy.The g value and the linewidth of the radical compares well with that of the anion formed by chemical reduction.Proton and 19F NMR data confirm the occurrence of the electron-transfer reaction.
