Styphnic Acid

Styphnic acid, also known as 2,4,6-trinitroresorcinol, is a yellow crystalline high-explosive aromatic compound. It is recognized for its high sensitivity to heat, friction, and shock, and is commonly used in explosive primers and detonator-related formulations.

Key Details:

Chemical Formula: C6H3N3O8

Appearance: Yellow, crystalline solid

Description: A nitrated aromatic compound (2,4,6-trinitrobenzene-1,3-diol) that is non-hygroscopic yet highly explosive, with properties similar to picric acid.

Primary Uses:

  • Primers & Detonators: Used as a precursor or component in initiating mixtures, including lead styphnate formulations.
  • Dyes & Pigments: Serves as an intermediate in the manufacture of dyes and specialty pigments.
  • Pharmaceutical Applications: Utilized as an intermediate in certain medicinal compounds.

Hazards: Styphnic acid is a sensitive explosive that decomposes upon heating. It is toxic and must be handled with strict controls to prevent ignition from heat, friction, or impact.
