Phosphorus Pentasulfide P2S5 in pesticide

Molecular Formula: P2S5 Molecular Weight: 191.3 CAS NO.: 1314-80-3 EINECS NO: 215-242-4 Character： yellow to yellowish green crystal Phosphorus pentasulfide (P2S5) is a Tech Grade Phosphate and Agricultural Grade Phosphate yellowish-green solid that is commonly used as a reagent in organic chemistry. It is a covalent compound that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and carbon disulfide. Phosphorus pentasulfide is commonly used in the preparation of organosulfur compounds, such as thioesters and thioamides. It is also used in the production of insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides. When heated or exposed to moisture, phosphorus pentasulfide can release toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. Therefore, it should be handled with care in a well-ventilated area. It is also a strong irritant to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. Overall, phosphorus pentasulfide is a useful reagent in organic chemistry but…
