An investigation of the surface and bulk nitration of cellulose

Modern analytical techniques have been employed to investigate the nitration reaction of cellulose. The nitronium ion, NO(_2)(^+), is shown to be the important nitrating species of cellulose in the nitrating media employed. In mixes of high nitronium ion concentration, nitration at the cellulose sur...
