Pentachlorotoluene
Pentachlorotoluene is a synthetic organochlorine compound with the molecular formula . This is an organic chemical compound from the group of aromatics and a derivative of toluene. Synthesis Pentachlorotoluene can be synthesized by chlorination of toluene. Physical properties This compound forms a white solid with a distinctive smell. The chlorine atoms contribute to its density, making it heavier than water. Because of its low volatility and fat-loving nature, pentachlorotoluene tends to build up in organic tissues, raising concerns in environmental and health research. Uses The compound is traditionally employed as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, such as pesticides and pharmaceuticals. Nevertheless, because of its environmental persistence, tendency to bioaccumulate, and harmful effects on humans and wildlife, its usage has been significantly limited in numerous countries.

Pentabromotoluene
Pentachlorotoluene is a synthetic organobromine compound with the molecular formula . Synthesis Pentabromotoluene is a derivative of toluene and is synthesized from it. Physical properties The compound forms white crystalline powder. Its crystals are of monoclinic system. Due to the substitution with five bromine atoms on the aromatic ring, pentabromotoluene has a significantly lower volatility than toluene. Uses Pentabromotoluene is widely used as a flame retardant in textiles, rubber, unsaturated polyesters, polyethylene, SBR latex, etc. See also * Hexabromobenzene * Pentafluorotoluene *Pentachlorotoluene Pentachlorotoluene is a synthetic organochlorine compound with the molecular formula .

Hexachlorobenzene
Hexachlorobenzene, or perchlorobenzene, is an aryl chloride and a six-substituted chlorobenzene with the molecular formula C6Cl6. It is a fungicide formerly used as a seed treatment, especially on wheat to control the fungal disease bunt. Its use has been banned globally under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. Physical and chemical properties Hexachlorobenzene is a stable, white, crystalline chlorinated hydrocarbon. It is sparingly soluble in organic solvents such as benzene, diethyl ether and alcohol, but practically insoluble in water with no reaction. It has a flash point of 468 °F and it is stable under normal temperatures and pressures. It is combustible but it does not ignite readily. When heated to decomposition, hexachlorobenzene emits highly toxic fumes of hydrochloric acid, other chlorinated compounds (such as phosgene), carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. History Hexachlorobenzene was first known as "Julin's chloride of carbon" as it w ...

Pentachlorobenzene
Pentachlorobenzene (PeCB) is an aryl chloride and a five-substituted chlorobenzene with the molecular formula C6HCl5 which is a chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon. It consists of a benzene ring substituted with five chlorine atoms. PeCB was once used industrially for a variety of uses, but because of environmental concerns there are currently no large scale uses of PeCB.Pentachlorobenzene – Sources, environmental fate and risk characterization

Pentafluorotoluene
Pentafluoromethylbenzene is a synthetic organofluoride compound with the molecular formula . Synthesis The compound can be obtained by the Friedel–Crafts reaction of pentafluorobenzene with methyl chloride. Also, the compound can be prepared by reacting hexafluorobenzene with methyllithium. Physical properties Pentafluoromethylbenzene is a colorless, volatile liquid with a distinctive sweet smell. It is known for its high reactivity, low toxicity, and limited solubility. Additionally, it has the ability to form complexes with metals such as iron and copper. Chemical properties The presence of electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms on its aromatic ring significantly enhances the compound reactivity. Under the influence of light, pentafluoromethylbenzene reacts with bromine to form pentafluorobenzyl bromide. Uses This halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon is widely utilized in organic synthesis and analytical chemistry due to its unique characteristics. In scientific studies, the comp ...

Organochlorine
Organochlorine chemistry is concerned with the properties of organochlorine compounds, or organochlorides, organic compounds that contain one or more carbon–chlorine bonds. The chloroalkane class (alkanes with one or more hydrogens substituted by chlorine) includes common examples. The wide structural variety and divergent chemical properties of organochlorides lead to a broad range of names, applications, and properties. Organochlorine compounds have wide use in many applications, though some are of profound environmental concern, with TCDD being one of the most notorious. Organochlorides such as trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, dichloromethane and chloroform are commonly used as solvents and are referred to as "chlorinated solvents". Physical and chemical properties Chlorination modifies the physical properties of hydrocarbons in several ways. These compounds are typically denser than water due to the higher atomic weight of chlorine versus hydrogen. They have higher ...

Structural Science
A structure is an arrangement and organization of interrelated elements in a material object or system, or the object or system so organized. Material structures include man-made objects such as buildings and machines and natural objects such as biological organisms, minerals and chemicals. Abstract structures include data structures in computer science and musical form. Types of structure include a hierarchy (a cascade of one-to-many relationships), a network featuring many-to-many links, or a lattice featuring connections between components that are neighbors in space. Load-bearing Buildings, aircraft, skeletons, anthills, beaver dams, bridges and salt domes are all examples of load-bearing structures. The results of construction are divided into buildings and non-building structures, and make up the infrastructure of a human society. Built structures are broadly divided by their varying design approaches and standards, into categories including building structures, arch ...
