General description

4-Nitrobenzoic acid (p-nitrobenzoic acid) is a carboxylic acid derivative. It participates in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic aureothin. Infrared Fourier transform spectroscopic studies suggest that the molecules of 4-nitrobenzoic acid gets adsorbed on the surfaces of fine silver powder as carboxylate.

Application

4-Nitrobenzoic acid may be used in the preparation of compounds (I and III) trans-M2(T(i)PB)2L2, where T(i)PB = 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoate:
  • compound I (L = 4-nitrobenzoate and M = Mo)
  • compound III (L = 4-nitrobenzoate and M2 = MoW)
