Lead picrate, or more properly,basic lead picrate, is an energetic, toxic, and explosive lead salt.

Properties

Physical

Freshly prepared and dried basic lead picrate.

Lead picrate is an orange, very dense non-hygroscopic lead compound. Its melting and boiling point are both unknown, as it tends to deflagrate or detonate before it reaches such a temperature.
