Sulfuryl chloride is a water sensitive inorganic compound with the formula SO2Cl2. Sulfuryl chloride is sometimes confused with thionyl chloride (SOCl2), however the properties of the two chemicals are very different, as sulfuryl chloride is a source of chlorine, while thionyl chloride is a source of chloride ions.

Properties

Chemical

Physical

Sulfuryl chloride is a colorless to yellowish liquid, with a strong poignant smell reminiscent of burned matches. It readily hydrolyzes in water.

Availability

Delete this section if not applicable

Preparation

Sulfuryl chloride can be made by reacting sulfur dioxide and chlorine.

Projects

  • Make chlorobenzene
  • Make alkyl chlorides

Handling

Safety

Sulfuryl is extremely corrosive and toxic. It hydrolyzes in water.

Storage

Sulfuryl chloride should be stored in glass bottles, preferably amber glass, away from any moisture, best in a corrosive chemicals cabinet.

Disposal

Sulfuryl chloride can be neutralized with an alkaline solution.
