A chemical compound with two picryl groups bonded to an amine functional group, sometimes used as an explosive or in chemical research.
From di- (two) + picryl + amine. Synthesized during the 19th century as chemists explored energetic and reactive compounds, particularly for explosives and dyes.
Dipicrylamine sits at the intersection of chemistry's most dangerous side—early chemists were literally creating new explosives in their labs to test chemical theories!
