Disulfur dichloride is the chemical compound of sulfur and chlorine with the formula S2Cl2.

Properties

Chemical

Disulfur dichloride is sensitive to moist air, due to reaction with water:

2 S2Cl2 + 2 H2O → SO2 + 4 HCl + 3/8 S8

Physical

Pure disulfur dichloride is a yellow liquid, with a pungent irritating odor, that fumes in air. It reacts with water and alcohols.

Availability

Disulfur dichloride can be purchased from chemical supplier, however due to its hazardous nature, it cannot be normally bought by individuals.

Disulfur dichloride is listed in Schedule 3 Part B - Precursor Chemicals of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and its production, sale or consumption may be subject to control by the OPCW (Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons) over a certain quantity.

Preparation

Disulfur dichloride can be prepared by bubbling dry chlorine through molten sulfur. Direct chlorination of powdered sulfur also works with lower efficiency. In either case distillation is required for purification.

Projects

Handling

Safety

Disulfur dichloride is highly corrosive and toxic. It will react with water to release HCl and sulfur dioxide.

Storage

Disulfur dichloride should be ampouled or stored in sealed bottles in a special cabinet. Ground glass is inappropriate as escaping vapour reacts with atmospheric air, depositing solid sulfur in the glass joints, fusing them together.

Disposal

Disulfur dichloride can be neutralized by mixing it with a basic solution. Slaked lime is a very good and cheap neutralizing agent. Since there will be lots of splashing, do this outside or under a fumehood.
