CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Carbonyl sulfide is a colorless, poisonous, flammable gas with a distinct sulfide odor. The gas is toxic and narcotic in low concentrations and presents a moderate fire hazard. Under prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat the container may rupture violently or rocket. It is used in the synthesis of organic thio compounds. |
