Inorganic compounds phosgene

The reactions of phosgene with inorganic compounds have been the subject of a number of brief, or old, surveys [155,179,578,735,781,996,1378,1379,ICI20], but no... 

Inorganic. Inorganic compounds are all elements, alloys, and compounds which do not contain a carbon-carbon linkage. Some examples of inorganic substances are carbides, carbon disulphide such toxic materials as phosgene or chlorine and inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and sulphuric acids. lATA App. A...

Thus, we have concentrated in this Chapter not only upon those reactions which constitute an efficient synthesis of phosgene or labelled phosgene, but also (owing to the exceptional toxicity of the compound) on those reactions which generate even comparatively low yields and which could be conceivably problematical in the chemical plant environment, and in both the organic and inorganic laboratory. 

Despite its molecular simplicity, the known inorganic chemistry of COCIF is even more scant than that of phosgene. Only one coordination compound is known and, in particular, there appear to be no reports of the reactions of COCIF with metal oxides, even though phosgene has been used, industrially, to prepare many anhydrous metal chlorides from the corresponding oxides.
