Dinitrobenzene

Dinitrobenzenes are nitrobenzenes composed of a benzene ring and two nitro group (-NO₂) substituents. The three possible arrangements of the nitro groups afford three isomers, 1,2-dinitrobenzene, 1,3-dinitrobenzene, and 1,4-dinitrobenzene. Each isomer has the chemical formula C₆H₄N₂O₄ and a molar mass of about 168.11 g/mol. 1,3-Dinitrobenzene is the most common isomer and it is used in the manufacture of explosives.
