Usage

Chemical structure

A compound composed of three benzene rings connected in a linear configuration, with a nitro group attached to the fourth carbon atom of the central ring.

Classification

A polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), which is a type of organic compound consisting of multiple aromatic rings.

Applications

Commonly used in organic synthesis and chemical research.

Potential applications

Development of liquid crystal and photonic materials in the field of materials science.

Pharmacological properties

Studied for its potential use as a pharmaceutical intermediate.

Molecular weight

Approximately 273.3 g/mol (based on the atomic weights of the constituent elements).

Physical state

Likely a solid at room temperature, as many PAHs exhibit this property.

Solubility

May be soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, acetone, or dichloromethane, but insoluble in water due to its nonpolar nature.

Stability

Generally stable under normal conditions, but may decompose or react under extreme temperatures or in the presence of strong acids or bases.

Reactivity

Can undergo various chemical reactions, such as electrophilic aromatic substitution, due to the presence of the aromatic rings.

Hazards

Potential hazards may include irritation, toxicity, or environmental concerns, depending on the specific properties of the compound.

Storage

Should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible substances and sources of ignition.

Disposal

Proper disposal methods should be followed, such as following local regulations and guidelines for the disposal of hazardous chemicals.
