APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Phosphorus Pentachloride
Phosphorus pentachloride is a pale yellow solid that fumes in moist air; specific gravity 1.60; melting at 148℃ under pressure; boiling at 160℃ (sublimes). It is soluble in benzene, ether, carbon disulphide and in carbon tetrachloride. It is neither nonflammable nor explosive. It is hydrolysed violently with water to form phosphonic acid, phosphorus oxychloride, and hydrochloric acid. Phosphorus pentachloride is used to chlorinating agent and dehydrating agent for the synthesis of a variety of inorganic and organic phosphorus derivatives used as pesticides, water treatment chemicals, flame retardants, phosphite antioxidants, plasticizers and stabilizers for plastic and elastomers, lube oil and paint additives. It is also used as a catalyst in cyclization reaction. It is used to improve grain structure in metal casting.
