#1: I see in certain synths (e.g. MM's) that call for nitromethane, the formula is listed as MeNO2, but the MSDS for nitromethane lists it as CH3NO2. Would someone please explain the difference for me?
#2: Assuming someone was able to obtain 99%+ purity nitromethane, should that person be concerned with the additional additives (specified in previous posts as probably nitroethane and maybe MEOH (is that right?)) as either a source of contamination or as a reagent which would produce undesirable side-effects? In other words, is 99%+ purity nitromethane usable as-is?
Thanks!
