ChEBI: Nitrogen trichloride is a nitrogen halide. | [Preparation]
Nitrogen trichloride is prepared by passing chlorine gas into slightly acid solution of ammonium chloride. The product is continuously extracted with carbon tetrachloride:
NH4Cl + 3Cl2 → NCl3 + 4HCl
Hypochlorous acid, HOCl, also may be used instead of chlorine in such preparation.
Nitrogen trichloride can be prepared by the action of anhydrous chlorine with anhydrous ammonia:
3Cl2 + NH3 → NCl3 + 3HCl
Nitrogen trichloride is made commercially by electrolyzing an acidified solution of ammonium chloride. |

II | [Safety Profile]
Moderately toxic by
inhalation. An irritant to the eyes, skin,
mucous membranes, and a systemic central
nervous system irritant. An explosive
sensitive to impact, light, and ultrasound.
The solid explodes on melting. The liquid
explodes above 60°C. Concentrated
solutions are also explosive. Explosive
decomposition is initiated by contact with:
concentrated ammonia, arsenic, dinitrogen
tetraoxide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen
trisulfide, nitrogen oxide, organic matter,
ozone, phosphine, phosphorus, potassium
cyanide, potassium hydroxide solutions,
selenium, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen
fluoride, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen
iodide. mxtures with chlorine + hydrogen
are potentially explosive. Upon
decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-
and NOx. See also CHLORIDES. | [Hazardous Substances Data]
