Description

Phthalonitrile is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. The molecular weight of phthalonitrile is 104.11 g/mol. It has the chemical structure CH(CO)NH. Phthalonitrile is an organic compound with a hydroxyl group and a phenoxy group. This compound can be found in the form of its sodium salts, which are typically white solids that are soluble in water and polar organic solvents. The anhydrous salt is formed by heating the hydrate with phosphorus pentoxide at 250°C for 1 hour or by treating the hydrate with ammonia or ammonium chloride at 180°C for 2 hours.
