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.
