CAS 6477-64-1

Lead(II) picrate

Description:

Lead(II) picrate, with the CAS number 6477-64-1, is a chemical compound formed from lead and picric acid. It is characterized by its yellow crystalline appearance and is known for its explosive properties, making it a subject of interest in both chemistry and munitions. The compound is relatively stable under normal conditions but can be sensitive to shock and friction, which raises safety concerns during handling and storage. Lead(II) picrate is insoluble in water but can dissolve in organic solvents, which affects its reactivity and applications. Due to the presence of lead, it poses significant health and environmental risks, as lead is a toxic heavy metal that can accumulate in biological systems. Consequently, the use of lead(II) picrate is regulated in many countries, and safety precautions are essential when working with this substance. Its applications are primarily found in military and industrial contexts, particularly in the formulation of explosives and propellants.
