Disulfur dichloride

Disulfur dichloride (S₂Cl₂) is a fuming, amber-to-red, oily liquid at room temperature with a pungent, irritating odor and high volatility. It is an inorganic chlorosulfur compound—specifically, a sulfur chloride—and melts at –80 °C and boils at 138 °C. It serves primarily as a key intermediate in the production of sulfuric acid derivatives, vulcanizing agents, and organosulfur compounds. Its principal industrial applications include synthesis of thiokol polymers, rubber accelerators, and specialty chemicals for agrochemicals and dyes. It is also employed in the manufacture of certain pharmaceutical intermediates and metal surface treatments.

Sulfur chloride is a solvent for sulfur and a chlorinating agent. Other applications are vulcanizing rubber; an intermediate in making sulfur dyes, synthetic rubber, thionyl chloride, and several other compounds; pesticide formulations; hardening soft woods; and extracting gold.
Amber to yellowish-red, oily, fumingliquid; penetrating odor. Soluble in alcohol,ether, benzene, carbon disulfide, and amyl acetate;decomposes on contact withwater. Combustible.
