2,7-Dinitro-9-fluorenone Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

yellow to brown crystalline powder

Uses

2,7-Dinitro-9-fluorenone was used to develop sensor for determination of submicromolar concentrations of selected genotoxic nitro compounds using mercury meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode coupled with direct current voltammetry or differential pulse voltammetry. It was used to study mechanism of generation of spontaneous and mutation-induced deletion revertants of hisG428 in Salmonella tester strain TA102 .

General Description

Light green solid. Used a photo conducting material.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

A nitrated ketone. Ketones are reactive with many acids and bases liberating heat and flammable gases (e.g., H2). The amount of heat may be sufficient to start a fire in the unreacted portion of the ketone. Ketones react with reducing agents such as hydrides, alkali metals, and nitrides to produce flammable gas (H2) and heat. Ketones are incompatible with isocyanates, aldehydes, cyanides, peroxides, and anhydrides. They react violently with aldehydes, HNO3, HNO3 + H2O2, and HClO4.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data are not available for 2,7-Dinitro-9-fluorenone, but 2,7-Dinitro-9-fluorenone is probably combustible.
