picrates

Over time, the buildup of picrates on exposed metal surfaces can constitute a grave hazard.

These additional compounds are also called picrates even though they are not a salt of picric acid.

Many picrates are explosives, for example ammonium picrate (known as Dunnite).

Captain, how about them picrates?

Picrates of some metals tend to be significantly more sensitive to impact, friction and shock than picric acid itself.

As with other picrates, potassium picrate may be produced by the neutralization of picric acid with the corresponding carbonate.

However, shells filled with picric acid become highly unstable as the compound corrodes bomb casings to form metal picrates which are more sensitive than the parent phenol.

In particular, noting that picric acid can be explosive, sensitive to friction and shock when dry and in contact with some metals can form unstable metal picrates.

In contact with metals (e.g. lead, calcium, iron), potassium picrate, like ammonium picrate and picric acid, forms picrates of said metals.

Lead picrate, Pb(CH(NO)O), is an organic chemical compound from the group of picrates, salt of picric acid and lead on +2 oxidation number.

Picrates penetrate tissue well to react with histones and basic proteins to form crystalline picrates with amino acids and precipitate all proteins.
