CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Mecoprop appears as colorless crystals. Corrosive to metals. Used as an herbicide. |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | Colorless crystals |
| Odor | Odorless |
| Melting Point | 93-95 °C |
| Solubility | Solubility of its salts in water: diethanolamine 580, dimethyalmine 660 (all in g/L, 20 °C) /Mecoprop salts/ |
| Density | 1.28 g/cm³ |
| Vapor Pressure | 0.0000023 [mmHg] |
| LogP | log Kow = 3.13 |
| Stability/Shelf Life | Stable under recommended storage conditions. |
| Decomposition | Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions - Carbon oxides, hydrogen chloride gas. |
| Corrosivity | CORROSIVE TO METALS IN PRESENCE OF MOISTURE |
| Dissociation Constants | 3.21 |
| Kovats Retention Index | 1740 1683.7 |
| Other Experimental Properties | Mecoprop has an asymmetric carbon & therefore exists in 2 enantiomorphs, of which the commercial product contains equal amounts; forms water-sol salts with many inorganic & organic bases; esters of the lower alcohols are solids or volatile liquids |
| Chemical Classes | Pesticides -> Herbicides, Chlorophenoxy |
