Picryl chloride

Chlorotrinitrobenzene is a chlorinated hydrocarbon that forms white needle crystals.

Chemical Formula: C6H2ClN3O6
Other names: 2-Chloro-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene
Layman's explanation: Picryl chloride is ranked as one of the 100 most commonly found explosive and shock sensitive materials. It is made by reacting 2,4,6 trinitrophenol with thionyl chloride. This highly reactive compound is known to be hazardous and toxic, and to cause liver injury in mice. It is often used as a sensitization agent in mice when their cells undergo hypersensitivity studies.
