PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF LIQUID PHOSGENE

This result, like that found for sulfur dioxide, is somewhat ironic, as phosgene played an important rdle in the development of Franklin s theory of the acid-base behaviour of non-aqueous solvents [736,738a,850d,1285a], There has been a very recent suggestion, however, that [COCl] is stabilized by a zeolite framework [641], and exhibits r(CO) at 1790 and 1710 cm [641], This claim requires substantiation, however. 

Electrolysis of conducting solutions of aluminium(III) chloride [738] liberates a mixture of carbon monoxide and dichlorine [736].
