Description
Chlorine oxide (ClO)(6CI,7CI,9CI) (CAS: 14989-30-1) is an inorganic chlorine oxide radical with the chemical formula ClO and molecular weight 51.45. It is a yellowish-green gas (purity ≥97.0% GC) with pungent odor similar to chlorine, highly unstable and strongly oxidizing. It can be prepared by the reaction of chlorine and ozone, and is widely used in disinfection, chemical synthesis and laboratory research. It is extremely unstable and needs to be stored in a sealed high-pressure container under low temperature and inert gas protection to avoid decomposition and dangerous reactions.
