Nitrobenzene

Doped liquid nitrobenzene is ferroelectric.

The high resolution hyper-Rayleigh light scattering spectrum for liquid nitrobenzene doped with triflic acid (CF(3)SO(3)H) shows a narrow spike at zero frequency shift which has the polarization signature of a polar longitudinal collective mode. This spectral spike disappears for pure nitrobenzene. The spectral spike is interpreted as due to ferroelectric domains in the liquid. The dopant molec...

Hydrogenation of Nitrobenzene to Aniline

1 - Fluoro - 2 , 5 - dimethoxy - 4 - nitrobenzene

1-Fluoro-2,5-dimethoxy-4-nitrobenzene was synthesized in 90% yield by the reaction of commercial 2-fluoro-1,4-dimethoxybenzene with nitric acid. The structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The new title compound was characterized by 1H and 13C-NMR, elemental analysis, EI-MS and FT-IR.

Photodissociation dynamics of nitrobenzene and o-nitrotoluene.

Photodissociation of nitrobenzene at 193, 248, and 266 nm and o-nitrotoluene at 193 and 248 nm was investigated separately using multimass ion imaging techniques. Fragments corresponding to NO and NO(2) elimination from both nitrobenzene and o-nitrotoluene were observed. The translational energy distributions for the NO elimination channel show bimodal distributions, indicating two dissociation...

Effects of Nitrobenzene and Benzene on Valonia

The effects of nitrobenzene and of benzene resemble those of guaiacol and of hexylresorcinol. The P.D. changes in a positive direction and then in a negative direction. The latter change may bring the P.D. back to the starting point with guaiacol and hexylresorcinol but with nitrobenzene and benzene this is not always the case. The positive potential change produced by nitrobenzene and benzene ...
