CAS: 1314-80-3
Function: Individual chemical research reference
Compare this material →Awaiting human verificationThis material’s published information has not yet been verified by a human reviewer.
Human verification concerns the stated information and scope. It is separate from an EcoSafe score, certification or safety approval. Overview
Greenish-gray to yellow, crystalline solid with an odor of rotten eggs. Source-checked chemical identity with NIOSH physical-property and occupational-hazard context. Supplier grade, manufacturing origin and EcoSafe assessment require separate review.

CAS identity reference ↗Core data coverage: 75%
12 of 16 defined fields have sourced information. This is data coverage, not a safety score, EcoSafe assessment or human-verification mark.
CAS cross-check: CAS 1314-80-3 appears on the NIOSH card and in the returned PubChem CID’s synonyms. The CAS checksum and molecular-weight consistency were screened; variable-form and ambiguous matches were held out.
NIOSH lists empirical P2S5 formula mass (222.3) and P4S10 molecular mass (444.6). The imported formula and molecular weight refer to P4S10, not the empirical formula unit.
