Dichlorine oxide

The liquid at 2°C is an unstable spark- and touch-sensitive explosive. The gas may explode when heated above 42°C. A powerful oxidizing agent. Explodes on contact with alcohols, ammonia, antimony, antimony sulfide, arsenic, barium sulfide, calcium phosphide, carbon, carbon disulfide vapor, charcoal, cork, dicyanogen, ethers, hydrogen sulfide, mercury sulfide, nitrogen oxide, paper, phosphine, phosphorus, potassium, rubber, sulfur, tin sulfide, turpentine, and other oxidizable materials. Self-explodes. Incompatible with carbon, dicyanogen, diphenylmercury, nitrogen oxide, oxidizable materials, and potassium. Explosive reaction when heated above 50°C with many hydrocarbons (e.g., butadiene, ethane, ethylene, methane, propane).
