Chemical Properties: Thiophosgene (463-71-8) is reddish liquid .
General Description: A reddish liquid. Boiling point 73.5°C. A severe eye irritant. May severely burn skin on contact. Very toxic by inhalation and by skin absorption.
Air & Water Reactions: Reacts with water to evolve hydrogen chloride, carbon disulfide, and carbon dioxide. Reaction is slow unless the water is hot.
Reactivity Profile: Thiophosgene is incompatible with acids, diazo and azo compounds, halocarbons, isocyanates, aldehydes, alkali metals, nitrides, hydrides, and other strong reducing agents. Reactions with these materials generate heat and in many cases hydrogen gas. Liberates hydrogen sulfide upon reaction with acids.
Health Hazard: Inhalation causes irritation of respiratory system and delayed pulmonary edema. Vapor irritates eyes. Liquid burns skin and eyes. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach.
