Pentachlorobenzenethiol is a chemical compound from the group of thiols and organochlorine compounds.[1] The chemical formula is C
6HCl
5S.[2]
Synthesis[edit]
Pentachlorobenzenethiol can be obtained from hexachlorobenzene.[3]
Properties[edit]
Pentachlorobenzenethiol is a combustible gray solid with an unpleasant odor, practically insoluble in water. It has a monoclinic crystal structure.[4] The compound is not well-biodegradable and presumably bioaccumulable and toxic for aquatic organisms. Pentachlorobenzenethiol is itself a metabolite of hexachlorobenzene and is found in the urine and the excretions of animals receiving hexachlorobenzene.[5] Pentachlorobenzenethiol has a high potential for long-range transport via air as it is very slowly degraded in atmosphere.[6]
Applications[edit]
Pentachlorobenzenethiol is used in the rubber industry. The compound is added to rubber (both natural and synthetic) to facilitate processing (mastication).

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
