Specification:

The 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane , with the CAS register number 79-34-5, could also be called as (CHCl2)2;1,1,2,2,-tetrachlor-ethane ; 1,1,2,2-Czterochloroetan ; 1,1,2,2-czterochloroetan(polish) ; 1,1,2,2-tce ; 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloorethaan ; 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloraethan ; 1,1,2,2-Tetrachlorethan .

The physical properties of this chemcial are as followings: (1)ACD/LogP:  2.17 ; (2)ACD/LogD (pH 5.5):  2.17  ; (3)ACD/LogD (pH 7.4):  2.17  ; (4)ACD/BCF (pH 5.5):  26.37  ; (5)ACD/BCF (pH 7.4):  26.37  ; (6)ACD/KOC (pH 5.5):  362.07  ; (7)ACD/KOC (pH 7.4):  362.07  ; (8)#Freely Rotating Bonds:  1; (9)Index of Refraction:  1.479  ; (10)Molar Refractivity:  30.62 cm ; (11)Molar Volume:  107.8 cm ; (12)Polarizability:  12.14 ×10-24 cm ; (13)Surface Tension:  33.9 dyne/cm  ; (14)Density:  1.556 g/cm3  ; (15)Flash Point:  42.6 °C  ; (16)Enthalpy of Vaporization:  37.64 kJ/mol  ; (17)Boiling Point:  142 °C at 760 mmHg  ; (18)Vapour Pressure:  7.14 mmHg at 25°C.

This is a kind of colorless liquid and is complete soluble in Methanol, ethanol, ethyl ether, chloroform, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, carbon bisulfide, petroleum ether, DMF and other oils but insoluble in water. And it could volatilize with steam. Besides, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong bases and can react violently with sodium, potassium, nitrates, 2,4-dinitrophenyl disulphide. As for its usage, it could be used as solvent and analytical reagent and it could also be as the metal detergent, pesticide, and other phytocide.

As for its product categories, there are vairous, including Intermediates of Dyes and Pigments; refrigerants; Organics; Analytical Chemistry; Standard Solution of Volatile Organic Compounds for Water & Soil Analysis; Standard Solutions (VOC); Alpha Sort; Chemical Class; ChloroPesticides; FumigantsVolatiles/ Semivolatiles; Halogenated; Insecticides; TA - TE; T-ZAlphabetic.

Being a kind of very toxic chemical, it may at very low levels cause damage to health and it is dangerous when by inhalation or in contact with skin, and it has the danger of very serious irreversible effects through inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Besides, it is dangerous for the environment, for it may present an immediate or delayed danger to one or more components of the environment and it is toxic to the aquatic organisms and may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Besides, it is dangerous for the ozone layer. Except all these, it is a kind of highly flammable chemical, as it may catch fire in contact with air, only needing brief contact with an ignition source and it has a very low flash point or evolve highly flammable gases in contact with water.
 
Because of these dangerous possibilities, you should be very cautious while dealing with it. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. If in case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment and if in case of accident or if you feel unwell seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible). Besides, Avoid releasing to the environment and refer to special instructions/safety data sheet. Yuo could obtain more safety information from WGK Germany  3. When store it, it should be kept in the ventilating dry and cool storeroom, and away from those oxygenant and other food additives.

When it comes to its preparation products, there are including chloroacetic acid, trichloroethylene, thiophosgene, hexachloroethane, 4-vinylbenzyl chloride, decabromodiphenyl oxide, pentachloroethane. And its raw materials are including ferric chloride, antimony(v) chloride.

Additionally, you could convert the following data information into the molecular structure:
