“…The usage of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) as explosive materials has been tremendously increased in both modern industrialization and extremism thereby, attracting attention concerning environmental, homeland security and other humanitarian consequences. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] NACs such as nitrobenzene (NB), 2-nitrophenol (2-NP), 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), 4-nitrotoluene (4-NT), 2-nitroaniline (2-NA), 3-nitroaniline (3-NA), 4-nitroaniline (4-NA) (4-nitrophenyl)hydrazine (4-NPH) and so on are notorious environmental pollutants. [9,10] Whereas, those containing di-or tri-nitro groups for instance, 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP), mdinitrobenzene (m-DNB), 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (3,5-DNSA), 3,5dinitrobenzoic acid (3,5-DNBA), 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) and trinitrotoluene (2,4, are renowned as primary starting materials for the synthesis of various chemical explosives due to their low cost and easy transportation and thus could cause serious threats to the society.…”
