Dibenzo-1,4-dioxin, also dibenzodioxin or dibenzo-p-dioxin (dibenzo-para-dioxin), is a polycyclic heterocyclic organic compound in which two benzene rings are connected by a 1,4-dioxin ring. Its molecular formula is C 12 H 8 O 2. The two oxygen atoms occupy opposite (para-) positions in the six-membered dioxin ring.
The skeletal formula and substituent numbering scheme of the parent compound dibenzo-1,4-dioxin. The structure of dibenzo-1,4-dioxin consists of two benzene rings joined by two oxygen bridges. This makes the compound an aromatic diether. The name dioxin formally refers to the central dioxygenated ring, which is stabilized by the two flanking ...
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (sometimes shortened, though inaccurately, to simply 'dioxin') [3] with the chemical formula C 12 H 4 Cl 4 O 2. Pure TCDD is a colorless solid with no distinguishable odor at room temperature.
[2] [3] For general population the most important source is food of animal origin like with other dioxin-like compounds. [4] [5] [6] The most relevant congener is 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran (2,3,4,7,8-PCDF) which is more toxic and based on relative toxicity more prevalent than other PCDFs. [4]
1,2,3,4,6,7,8-Heptachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin (often referred to as 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD) is a polychlorinated derivative of dibenzo-p-dioxin and can therefore be categorized as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD), a subclass of dioxins which includes 75 congeners.
1,4-Dioxin (also referred as dioxin or p-dioxin) is a heterocyclic, organic, non-aromatic [2] compound with the chemical formula C 4 H 4 O 2. There is an isomeric form of 1,4-dioxin, 1,2-dioxin (or o -dioxin). 1,2-Dioxin is very unstable due to its peroxide -like characteristics.
Specialty Cookware or Appliances. Gadgets like a mini waffle maker, popcorn maker, ice cream maker, or sandwich press just aren’t necessary and take up more room than they are worth.
(for details see Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds). Chlorinated pesticides can also contain impurities of dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and their precursors. "Precursor formation of PCDD/Fs can also be mediated by ultraviolet light (UV)" from sun (OCDD mostly). Changes in congeners ratio after UV exposition suggest that ...
