Dichlorine monoxide is the [[anhydride]] of [[hypochlorous acid]]; it is related to [[hypochlorite]]s generally. It is also the unstable decomposition product of [[calcium hypochlorite]], and in high concentrations presents the risk of [[Combustion|ignition]] by [[friction]] or static spark. ==References== {{Unreferenced|date =September 2007}} <references/> [[Category:Oxides]] [[Category:Chlorine compounds]] [[Category:Acidic oxides]] {{inorganic-compound-stub}} [[cs:Oxid chlorný]] [[ko:일산화 이염소]] [[ja:一酸化二塩素]] [[pl:Tlenek chloru(I)]] [[zh:一氧化二氯]]
