Physical Properties of Nitrate Esters

Alkyl Alcohols Nitrate esttrs Nitrous esters Nitro groups 

nitrate esters have higher vapor pressure and are easier to be volatilized than the corresponding alcohols. 

The physical constants of nitrate esters, such as dielectric constants 20, refractive index density dl°, and viscosity t]2o, have been measured [3, 17]. Those constants are listed in the Table 5.2. 

The data of tribromopropane and glycerol triacetate are listed in the Table 5.2 for the comparison with the corresponding derivatives. 

With increasing studies and knowledge to nitrate esters [3, 18], more physical constants of nitroglycerine and some glycol dinitrates have been obtained, as listed in Table 5.3.
