1,1′-Biphenyl, 2,2′,3,6,6′-pentachloro-

Description:

1,1′-Biphenyl, 2,2′,3,6,6′-pentachloro- is a chlorinated biphenyl compound characterized by the presence of five chlorine atoms attached to the biphenyl structure. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and is known for its stability and resistance to degradation, which can lead to environmental persistence. Its molecular structure contributes to its hydrophobic nature, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of multiple chlorine atoms enhances its potential for bioaccumulation in living organisms. This compound is often studied for its toxicological effects, as chlorinated biphenyls can exhibit endocrine-disrupting properties and may pose risks to human health and the environment. Due to its chemical stability and potential for accumulation, it is subject to regulatory scrutiny and environmental monitoring. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate its impact on ecosystems.
