General Description

2,4,6-trinitrophenol-naphthalene (1:1) is a chemical combination of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, also known as picric acid, and naphthalene in equal proportions. 2,4,6-trinitrophenol is a yellow, crystalline compound with explosive properties, commonly used in the manufacture of dyes, explosives, and pesticides. Naphthalene is a white crystalline solid with a strong odor, often used in mothballs and as a fumigant. The combination of these two chemicals may be used in the development of explosives or as a component in chemical reactions or processes in various industrial applications. It is important to handle and store this combination of chemicals with care due to their potential explosive and toxic properties.

Synthesis, crystal growth, structural, thermal and optical properties of naphthalene picrate an organic NLO material

Crystalline substance of naphthalene picrate (NP) was synthesized and single crystals were grown using slow evaporation solution growth technique. The solubility of the naphthalene picrate complex was estimated using different solvents such as chloroform and benzene. The material was characterized by elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) techniques. The electronic absorption was studied through UV-vis spectrophotometer. Thermal behavior and stability of the crystal were studied using thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. The second harmonic generation (SHG) of the material was confirmed using Nd:YAG laser.

Preparation and IR-Spectroscopic Study of Charge Transfer Complexes of Naphthalene Derivatives with Some Tri- and Di-Nitrobenzenes

The charge transfer complexes of naphthalene and some of its derivatives with some trinitro- and dinitrobenzenes are prepared and investigated by ir-spectroscopy.The shifts in the bands due to functional groups as well as the γCH bands of both donor and acceptor are found to be indicative for the type of bonding in the charge transfer complex. - Keywords: Charge transfer complexes, synthesis and IR-spectra
