Uses

Used in Pest Control Applications:
1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane is used as an insecticide for controlling a wide range of pests such as flies, cockroaches, aphids, grasshoppers, wireworms, and boll weevils. It is effective due to its systemic nature, which allows it to be absorbed by the pests and disrupt their nervous systems, leading to their death.
Used in Agricultural Industry:
In the agricultural industry, 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane is used as a pesticide to protect crops from various insect pests. Its effectiveness in controlling pests helps to increase crop yields and ensure food security.
Used in Veterinary Medicine:
1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane is also used in veterinary medicine for treating and preventing infestations of lice, ticks, and mites in animals. Its application helps to maintain the health and well-being of livestock and pets by controlling these parasites.

Hazard

Toxic by ingestion and inhalation, absorbed by skin, strong irritant to skin and eyes. CNS depressant. Use may be restricted.

Synthesis and spectral properties of iron(III) tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine complexes

Two tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine complexes of iron(III) were synthesized in high yields from the phthalocyanine ligand and iron(III) salts; the oxidation state of iron was confirmed by M?ssbauer and EPR spectroscopy. The existence of an acid–base equilibrium during spectrophotometric titration was revealed. The ButPcFeCl complex catalyzed chlorination of benzene.

Chlorination of aromatic substrates catalyzed by the phthalocyanine complexes

The chlorination of benzene, toluene, and o-xylene with molecular chlorine in the presence of the phthalocyanine complexes of different structures was studied. The transformations of the catalysts during the reaction were investigated.

Determination of the hydrogen-bond basicity of weak and multifunctional bases: The case of lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane)

We made use of four methods for determining the hydrogen-bond (HB) basicity of lindane (λ-hexachlorocyclohexane): (i) experimental Fourier transform IR measurement of a sum of individual 1:1 equilibrium constants for the formation of 1:1 4-fluorophenol-lindane hydrogen-bonded complexes in CCl4; (ii) calculation of the overall HB basicity from octanol-water partition coefficients; (iii) correlation of the HB basicity of chloroalkanes with the electrostatic potentials around chlorine atoms; and (iv) correlation of the HB basicity of chloroalkanes with the computed enthalpy of their complexes with hydrogen fluoride. It is consistently found that lindane remains a weak HB base because multifunctionality cannot fully compensate for the electron-withdrawing inductive effects that chlorine atoms exert over one another. Actually, only five chlorine atoms behave as HB acceptors, one axial chlorine being deactivated by inductive effects. Stereoelectronic effects lead to the formation of three-centered hydrogen bonds.

Physical, chemical, and isotopic (atomic) labels

Chemical or isotopic labels are added to, e.g., a potentially lethal drug formulation, to generate a unique chemical fingerprint. Combinations of chemical additives are mixed with the drug to aid in their isolation and identification, especially when such drugs are used for illicit purposes. When stable isotopes are incorporated into lethal drugs, the labeling process conveys a very unique internal chemical signature and greatly aids in the identification of the parent drug in body fluids and tissues. When heath-care providers become aware that certain drugs can now be easily tracked and identified in a victim, individuals may be reluctant to utilize these agents for ill purposes.

Study of sorption, biodegradation and isomerization of HCH in stimulated sediment/water system

This paper reported the sorption, biodegradation and isomerization of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) in laboratory sediment/water system under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively. The effect of organic nutrient addition to the sorption of HCH was also investigated. It indicates that HCH is highly adsorbed on sediments under both conditions. During the tests, the biodegradation and isomerization of HCH were dramatically speeded up after organic nutrient additions, especially in the case of the observation under aerobic condition. It was found, β-HCH was the most persistent in the environment, that is due to the isomerization of α-HCH in a big amount to β-HCH, besides its chemical stability.
