Nitroglycerin molecular structure

Nitroglycerin is indicated for initial relief of acute angina pectoris and for prophylaxis to prevent or minimize anginal attacks when taken immediately before stressful events. Nitroglycerin has the following molecular structure ... 

Figure 3.1 I Alfred Nobel s invention of dynamite provided a powerful explosive in solid form. The actual explosive in dynamite is nitroglycerin, whose molecular structure is shown. Nitroglycerin is a liquid under ordinary conditions, so its use as a commercial explosive was extremely hazardous.

PROBLEM 15.10 Alfred Nobel s fortune was based on his 1866 discovery that nitroglycerin, which is far too shock-sensitive to be transported or used safely, can be stabilized by adsorption onto a substance called kieselguhr to give what is familiar to us as dynamite. Nitroglycerin is the trinitrate of glycerol (1,2,3-propanetriol). Write a structural formula or construct a molecular model of nitroglycerin. 

Here is the structure of nitroglycerin (also see the molecular model in Figure 9.12) ... 

TNT and picric acid have been replaced gradually by tetryl, RDX, and nitroglycerine (Section 9-11). On the research front, chemists are continuing to explore novel structures. A case in point is octanitrocubane, synthesized in 2000, in which ring strain adds to the brisance of the compound. Its molecular formula, CgNgOig, indicates the potential to generate 8 CO2 -f 4 N2 molecules, with an associated 1150-fold volume expansion. A recent example from 2012 is the exotic salt TKX-50, in which two lone carbon atoms are surrounded by 10 nitrogens and the equivalent of 4 H2O moieties.
