Dichlorine oxides

Anhydrous zirconium oxide chloride, ZrOCl2 [7699-43-6] has been prepared by the reaction of dichlorine oxide with a zirconium tetrachloride suspension in carbon tetrachloride starting at —30° C and slowly rising to room temperature. The white soHd is extremely hygroscopic and decomposes to ZrCl and Zr02 at 250°C (200). 

Ammonia can also react violently with a large selection of chemicals including ethylene oxide, halogens, heavy metals, and oxidants such as chromium trioxide, dichlorine oxide, dinitrogen tetroxide, hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid, liquid oxygen, and potassium chlorate. 

Dichlorine oxide is used as bactericide to purify water ft is produced by the chlorination of sulfur dioxide gas. 

With dichlorine oxide there is a highly violent detonation. 

In contact with dichlorine oxide, calcium phosphide heats up, causing explosive decomposition of the chlorinated compound. 

Arsenic is violently oxidised by strong oxidants. This applies to potassium superoxide (incandescence of the element), dichlorine oxide (the released heat causes the chlorinated derivative to detonate), chromium (III) oxide Oncande-scence), potassium or silver nitrates (ignition), potassium permanganate or sodium peroxide (detonations). 

Tin disulphide has the same dangerous reactions as sulphides, for which sulphide anion is very sensitive to the effect of oxidants. So the effect of chloric acid and chlorates gives rise respectively to violent detonations and the formation of spectacular showers of sparks. Dichlorine oxide detonates, but this is to be expected. 

Mixtures of antimony with chloric acid and dichlorine oxide give rise to detonations. 

A pyrotechnic mixture of sulphide/potassium chlorate/aluminium has led to regular detonations. This sulphide incandesces as soon as it is in contact with chloric acid. Mixtures of antimony trisuiphide with alkaline nitrates, which are probably used for pyrotechnic purposes, also lead to detonations. Bengal lights has been made with this mixture, which was used in small quantities in mixtures and no accidents were experienced. Finally, dichlorine oxide detonates in contact with this sulphide. 

Barium sulphide has the usual dangerous reactions of sulphides (detonations with potassium chlorate and nitrate, combustion with phosphorus pentoxide). It catalyses the explosive combustion of dichlorine oxide. 

Its oxidising character plays a role in all other reactions. Surprisingly, it is thought to form explosive dichlorine oxide with chlorine. It leads to a and very exothermic reaction with disulphur dichloride and detonations with metals potassium, K-Na alloy, magnesium with phosphorus and anhydrous or hydrated hydrazine. 

Finally, the sulphide is absolutely incompatible with oxidants, chlorine (incandescence), dichlorine oxide (explosive decomposition), silver (I) oxide (ignition when the mixture is ground up). 

The effect of hypochlorous acid on acetic anhydride caused a violent detonation that was explained by the formation of a hypochlorite and/or dichlorine oxide, which are both explosive ...

The sulfide causes dichlorine oxide to explode, and it incandesces in chlorine. 

Mixtures of potassium and solid carbon dioxide are shock-sensitive and explode violently on impact, and carbon monoxide readily reacts to form explosive carbonylpotassium (potassium benzenehexoxide) [1]. Dichlorine oxide explodes on contact with potassium [2], Potassium ignites in dinitrogen tetraoxide or dinitrogen pentaoxide at ambient temperature and incandesces when warmed with nitrogen oxide or phosphorus(V) oxide [3], At — 50°C, potassium and carbon monoxide react to give dicarbonylpotassium, which explodes in contact with air or water, or at 100°C. At 150°C, the product is a trimer of this, potassium benzenehexoxide. The just-molten metal ignites in sulfur dioxide [4],...
