Sulfur chlorides are both beautifully fascinating and horrendously vile. Today, we'll be synthesizing sulfur dichloride: a cherry-red liquid that is now my least favorite chemical to work with. Not only does it reek like death, but it also coats everything it touches in a layer of sulfur that is nearly impossible to remove without the help of caustic chemicals. It is also corrosive to flesh, and it emits a host of toxic/corrosive gases when exposed to air and moisture. Seriously: unless you need this compound, you REALLY don't want it around!

In the future, you'll hopefully see a collaborative video or two from us based around the synthesis and use of thionyl chloride (which hopefully is more reactive and less pungent than disgusting sulfur dichloride).
