Properties
Diphenylchloroarsin is more chemically resistant than diphenylcyanarsine , similar in properties, especially when heated. At 230 ° C, diphenylchloroarsine turns yellow and slowly begins to deteriorate. In 15 minutes at 600 ° C, 22% decomposes, and at 750 ° C - 48% of the substance.
Combat use
It was used as a chemical agent in the fields of the First World War [1] . He was part of the German chemical shell " blue cross ", used for the first time in July 1917 in Flanders . With the explosion of the projectile formed an aerosol of nanoparticles that can penetrate through a carbon filter gas mask .
At a concentration of 0.1 µg / l , the effect of diphenylchloroarsine begins to be felt, and a concentration of more than 1 µg / l is already intolerable for a person without an aerosol filter. However, the irritating effect can also be felt on the skin if aerosol particles get on it. If you hit 0.05 mg / cm 2 diphenylchloroarsin causes redness, and with a higher density of damage, erythema , tumors and even blisters can occur.
Other uses
Diphenylchloroarsin is a useful reagent for the preparation of other diphenyl arsenic compounds, for example, by the Grignard reaction :
where R is an alkyl or aryl radical.
