Chemical compound
Dichloramine is a reactive inorganic compound with the chemical formula N H Cl 2. It is one of the three chloramines of ammonia, the others being monochloramine (NH2Cl) and nitrogen trichloride (NCl3). This yellow gas is unstable and reacts with many materials.[1] It is formed by a reaction between ammonia and chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. It is a byproduct formed during the synthesis of monochloramine and nitrogen trichloride.
Synthesis
[edit ]Dichloramine can be prepared by a reaction between monochloramine and chlorine or sodium hypochlorite:[1]
- NH2Cl + Cl2 → NHCl2 + HCl
Reactions
[edit ]Dichloramine reacts with the hydroxide ion, which can be present in water or comes from water molecules, to yield nitroxyl and the chloride ion.[2]
