Talk:2,4-Dinitrotoluene

Contradiction
This article contradicts itself by saying that dinitrotolulene is explosive, then that it is not explosive. I don't know enough about the subject to correct it, but clearly this must be a mistake or vandalism.

'Explosiveness of DNT'
21:39, 31 August 2010 (UTC)ProfMad Dinitrotoluenes are explosive, however, even TNT, requires much energy to induce detonation. DNT alone, would not be a reliable or effective explosive. It does of course, have a composition & structure which makes it a fire & explosion hazard. Mixed with oxidisers and/or other energetic materials, (i.e. KClO3; NH4NO3; Al: etc)it is clearly capable of detonation. It is used as an intermediate for other explosives, besides TNT. 21:39, 31 August 2010 (UTC)ProfMad21:39, 31 August 2010 (UTC) Nitrated aromatic compounds are also a basis for 'Sprengel Explosives'. These are admixtures of N.A. + Oxidant, Chlorates being one class. SEE SPRENGEL EXPLOSIVES.

They are high explosives, and depending on the type of chlorate (or other oxidant used) & aromatic nitrate used, have varying levels of sensitivity. Lead chlorate + D.N.P would obvoiusly be more of an initiating, sensitive mixture, than KClO3 + D.N.T. All are considered dangerous, and to my my knowledge, commercially outdated.

Regarding isomerism:- I advise they re-read article, as it does not imply a single isomer. In fact, their are many.

Disputed
Image only includes 2,6-dimethyltolulene (ortho, ortho isomer), not the other isomers. It falsly implies there is only one isomer. Polonium 22:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
