Picrate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A picrate is a salt containing the anion (O2N)3C6H2O− or an ester derivative of the picrate anion. These salts are often produced by reactions of picric acid (2,4,6-trinitrophenol).[1][2] The picrate ion is intensely yellow, although many of its salts are brown or orange-red.
