Phosgene was first deployed as a chemical weapon by the French in 1915 in World War I. [24] It was also used in a mixture with an equal volume of chlorine, with the chlorine helping to spread the denser phosgene. [25] [26] Phosgene was more potent than chlorine, though some symptoms took 24 hours or more to manifest.
Phosphine is an attractive fumigant because it is lethal to insects and rodents, but degrades to phosphoric acid, which is non-toxic. As sources of phosphine, for farm use, pellets of aluminium phosphide (AlP), calcium phosphide (Ca 3 P 2), or zinc phosphide (Zn 3 P 2) are used. These phosphides release phosphine upon contact with atmospheric ...
Phosphine oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula H 3 PO. Although stable as a dilute gas, liquid or solid samples are unstable. Unlike many other compounds of the type PO x H y, H 3 PO is rarely discussed and is not even mentioned in major sources on main group chemistry.
Tributylphosphine is the organophosphorus compound with the chemical formula P(CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3) 3, often abbreviated as PBu 3. It is a tertiary phosphine. It is an oily liquid at room temperature, with a nauseating odor. It reacts slowly with atmospheric oxygen, and rapidly with other oxidizing agents, to give tributylphosphine oxide.
Organophosphines are organophosphorus compounds with the formula PR n H 3−n, where R is an organic substituent.These compounds can be classified according to the value of n: primary phosphines (n = 1), secondary phosphines (n = 2), tertiary phosphines (n = 3).
The rebranding project changed the use of orange color for advertising to a soft grey and blue, and added a house symbol for the "o" in At Home. [8] The rebranding cost around $20 million. [8] At Home publicly filed an S-1 on September 4, 2015, to go public. [9] In July 2021, At Home was acquired by Hellman & Friedman. [10]
Phosgene is the most dangerous commonly used pulmonary agent (although disulfur decafluoride and perfluoroisobutene are both even more dangerous, with respectively 4 and 10 times the lethality of phosgene, neither is widely used). It is a colorless gas under ordinary conditions.
Phosphines or phosphanes are phosphorus compounds derived from phosphine and have the general structure R 3 P. For the nitrogen analogues, please see Category:Inorganic amines . Wikimedia Commons has media related to Phosphines .
