Recommended Methods for the Purification of Solvents and Tests for Impurities: Nitromethane

J. F. Coetzee, T.-H. Chang

Abstract

The most significant solvent properties of nitromethane are discussed. Values are tabulated for its most relevant physicochemical properties and of its solvation parameters. Examples are given of typical electrochemical studies carried out in this solvent. Impurities present in commercial nitromethane are listed, and a recommended purification procedure is described. Precautions dictated by the potential explosion hazard of nitromethane are discussed.
