Chlorosubstituted dibenzodioxin

The term dioxin is used as a shortening of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and substances with similar modes of action, whereas the term TCDD (or better, 2,3,7,8-TCDD) is used for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin only. Unsubstituted dibenzodioxin or chlorosubstituted dibenzodioxin with substitution patterns other than 2,3,7,8-TCDD may have low toxicity. Dioxin without dibenzo is very unstable.
