Nitrobenzenes

Nitrobenzenes are a group of nitro compounds consisting of one or more nitro groups as substituents on a benzene core. They have the formula C6H6–n(NO2)n, where n = 1–6 is the number of nitro groups. Depending on the number of nitro groups, there may be several constitutional isomers possible.Mononitrobenzene Dinitrobenzene 1,2-Dinitrobenzene 1,3-Dinitrobenzene 1,4-Dinitrobenzene Trinitrobenzene 1,2,3-Trinitrobenzene 1,2,4-Trinitrobenzene 1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene Tetranitrobenzene 1,2,3,4-Tetranitrobenzene 1,2,3,5-Tetranitrobenzene 1,2,4,5-Tetranitrobenzene Pentanitrobenzene Hexanitrobenzene
