2,2',4,4',6-pentanitrohydrazobenzene, also known as Hexanitrostilbene (HNS), is a high explosive compound with the chemical formula C14H6N8O12. It is a derivative of hydrazobenzene, where five nitro groups are attached to the benzene rings. HNS is known for its high energy density, high detonation velocity, and low sensitivity to impact and friction, making it a potential candidate for military and industrial applications. However, its high toxicity, difficulty in synthesis, and environmental concerns have limited its widespread use. The compound is typically synthesized through a multi-step process involving the nitration of hydrazobenzene and subsequent nitration of the resulting product. Due to its hazardous nature, handling and storage of HNS require strict safety measures and specialized equipment.
The CAS Registry Mumber 60016-26-4 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 6,0,0,1 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 6 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 60016-26: (7*6)+(6*0)+(5*0)+(4*1)+(3*6)+(2*2)+(1*6)=74 74 % 10 = 4 So 60016-26-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
