Mononitrotoluene, or methylnitrobenzene or nitrotoluene (MNT or NT), is a group of three organic compounds, a nitro derivative of toluene (or alternatively a methyl derivative of nitrobenzene). Its chemical formula is C6H4(CH3)(NO2). Mononitrotoluene comes in three isomers, differing by the relative position of the methyl and nitro groups: * ''ortho''-nitrotoluene (ONT), ''o''-nitrotoluene, or 2-nitrotoluene. It is a pale yellow liquid with a subtle, characteristic smell, reminiscent of bitter almonds. It is non-hygroscopic and non-corrosive. * ''meta''-nitrotoluene (MNT), ''m''-nitrotoluene, or 3-nitrotoluene. It is a yellowish-greenish to yellow liquid with weak fragrance. * ''para''-nitrotoluene (PNT), ''p''-nitrotoluene, or 4-nitrotoluene. It is a pale yellow material forming rhombic crystals and has a somewhat pleasant, characteristic smell of bitter almonds. It is almost insoluble in water. Typical use of nitrotoluene is in production of pigments, antioxidants, agricultural chemicals, and photographic chemicals. ''Ortho''-mononitrotoluene and ''para''-mononitrotoluene can be also used as detection taggants for explosive detection. ==See also== * Toluene * Dinitrotoluene * Nitrobenzene * Trinitrotoluene 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「mononitrotoluene」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
