Description

  • General description: Picric acid (PA, 2,4,6-trinitrophenol)[1] is a polynitrated aromatic acid. It is strongly acidic in nature. Since it readily dissolves in water, it can easily pollute the environment on exposure.[2] Sensitive detection of PA by tris-imidazolium salt,[2] fluorescent [3+2] self-assembled nanoscopic organic cage[3] and rhodamine based sensors[4] have been reported. It is widely used for the determination of various organic compounds by spectrophotometric and extractive spectrophotometric methods.[1]
  • Application: Picric acid has been used in the preparation of Bouin′s fixative[5] and picric acid/sodium azide/multi-walled carbon nanotubes.[6]
