On the gaseous condensable compound, explosive at low temperatures, produced from carbon disulphide vapour by the action of the silent electric discharge.—II

Abstract

In a former Note communicated to the Society we described the change of a rapid current of carbon disulphide vapour at a low pressure, under the influence of the silent electric discharge or of the ultra-violet radiation associated with it, into sulphur and a gaseous substance, condensable and explosive near the temperature of liquid air, forming a brown solid, resembling the polymeric form of carbon monosulphide previously obtained by the chemical interaction of thiophosgene and nickel carbonyl. This gaseous condensed substance will be called hereafter the ozoniser product. The present paper contains an account of the further study of this change and of the product obtained.
