Nitrophenols are compounds of the formula HOC6H5−x(NO2)x. The conjugate bases are called nitrophenolates. Nitrophenols are more acidic than phenol itself. [1]

with the formula HOC6H4NO2. Three isomeric nitrophenols exist:
The mononitrated phenols are often hydrogenated to the corresponding aminophenols that are also useful industrially. [1]
Nitrophenols are poisonous. Occasionally, nitrophenols contaminate the soil near former explosives or fabric factories and military plants, and current research is aimed at remediation. [3]
