The Trinitroanilin (2,4,6- Trinitroanilin, picramide ) forms orange -red crystals having a melting point of 188 ° C. It is derived from both the aniline and nitrobenzene from. The structure consists of a benzene ring with an added amino group (-NH2) and three nitro groups (- NO2) as a substituent. Is Trinitroanilin, as well as many other trinitrobenzene derivatives, explosive.
