Dichlorhexaoxid is a chemical compound selected from the group of the oxides.

Production and representation

Dichlorhexaoxid can be obtained by the reaction of chlorine dioxide with ozone.

Also possible is the preparation by reaction of Chlorylfluorid and perchloric acid.

Properties

Dichlorhexaoxid is a deep red liquid that can be stored without decomposition below -30 ° C. Of all the chlorine oxides, it is the least explosive in contact with organic materials, however, it explodes. As a gas, it dissociates extensively to Chlortrioxid which decomposes even at room temperature in chlorine dioxide and oxygen or in chlorine and oxygen.

As gas and liquid, it is as a covalent Chlorylperchlorat O2Cl -O- ClO3 before (chlorine (V, VII ) oxide, mixed anhydride of perchloric acid and chlorine ), as a solid with isolated ClO2 and ClO4 - ions.

In reaction with water releases chloric acid and perchloric acid with ozone slowly Dichlorheptaoxid.
