Tim, Local news in Phoenix area involves 300 people being evacuated from a Gilbert neighborhood because dangerous explosives were found in somebody's garage. arizonarepublic.com (Arizona Republic 11/21/00, also an article 11/20/00) The bomb squad had to be called in and some picric acid was detonated. Other dangerous chemicals were taken from the garage. The 11/20/00 AZ Republic article reported that criminal charges would be pursued. The house is reportedly owned by Gregory J. and Patsy R. Iseman. I recall that a Greg Iseman ("Iseman Consulting") had long been involved in unconventional and unlicensed analytical work in Arizona, so I assuming that Gregory J. Iseman is Greg Iseman of Iseman Consulting. A buddy told me he saw a TV news report where they described Gregory J. Iseman as an alchemist. Hey, that alchemy must pay off, it was a real nice house where they found the explosives. Dave

dave, I remember once dissolving a small amount of picric acid in the after shave of a friend of mine. well, he used it and it did not wash off. Picric acid binds to protein and forms a compound(nicotinic acid, I recall, that is quite yellow. Took a week or two for the abrasion of surface skin to wear it off. this is similar to the yellow stains formed when nitric acid gets on your skin, nicotinic acid. Now picric acid has many uses the chemical synthesis and I suspect this fello was using it as a reagent and not as an explosive. Another case of the police running off half cocked in all directions. that stuff is quite stable, but it is an explosive as well as a reagent. Bill

Dave, Some moe on picric acid. Bill . Picric acid. Picric acid which is used in the manufacture of ammonium picrate is a nitrated product of phenol. It may be stored either wet or dry in magazines. It is highly acidic and corrosive as well as a toxic hazard. The hazards of manufacture include those of handling its various raw material components. Drowning, deluge, and automatic sprinkler systems are successfully used in combating fires in the manufacture and handling of this material. Fires involving picric acid may be extinguished with automatic sprinkler systems. Large quantities have burned completely without explosions; however, the possibility of detonation should not be overlooked. In the nitration process, ample ventilation must be provided. Lead compounds with picric acid are very dangerous and lead in any form shall not be permitted in buildings where it may contact picric acid. Picric acid is lemon yellow in color, slightly soluble in water, and soluble in organic solvents. It stains the skin and hair of workers, and colors clothing and whatever else it contacts. It is stable and has no tendency to decompose at temperatures normally encountered in storage.
