C6H7O2ONO2

C6H7O2ONO2 is the molecular formula of an organic compound that contains a six-carbon framework with a nitrooxy substituent. The presence of the ONO2 fragment indicates a nitrate ester or nitrooxy group, a functional motif common in nitrate-containing aromatics. Because only the formula is given, the exact connectivity can vary, yielding several structural isomers.

Elemental composition is C6H7N1O5, giving an approximate molecular weight of 173.1 g/mol. The formula reflects a combination of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and five oxygen atoms, consistent with a nitrate ester–like functionality attached to a relatively small hydrocarbon skeleton.

Structural possibilities for C6H7O2ONO2 typically include an aryl-O-NO2 arrangement (a nitrate ester linked to an aromatic ring) or related nitrooxy ethers. These groups influence polarity, stability, and reactivity and can impart energetic character in certain contexts. The exact physical properties, including melting point, boiling point, and solubility, depend on the specific connectivity and substitution pattern.

Synthesis and applications are dependent on the precise structure. In general, such compounds can be prepared by esterification or related O-nitration routes in organic synthesis, and they may serve as synthetic intermediates or specialized materials. Safety and handling considerations reflect the potential sensitivity of nitrate esters to heat, friction, and shock, requiring appropriate precautions in research and handling.
