Hazard Predictions
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
Nitro compounds can act as weak acids, due to the electron withdrawing capacity of the nitro group (Personal communication with chemical industry experts). There is a possibility that they may react with basic salts, although it is predicted to be a slow reaction. Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
