Application

2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (DMNB) is an additive required for commercial plastic explosives. The product has been used to develop a fast, square-wave voltammetric measurement protocol of taggant (DMNB explosive) at an unmodified carbon fiber electrode. This protocol used a phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.0.

Fluorescent sensors for the detection of chemical explosives are in great demand. It is shown herein that the fluorescence of ZnL* (H2L=N,N'-phenylene-bis-(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylideneimine)) is quenched in solution by nitroaromatics and 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (DMNB), chemical signatures of explosives. The relationship between the structure
