Overview

Tetrakis(lead(2+));tris(oxygen(2-));sulfate (CAS 12202-17-4) is a complex lead-based inorganic compound with high toxicity and environmental impact concerns. This specialized lead compound, also identified by EC number 235-380-9, represents a quaternary lead oxide sulfate with the molecular formula O7Pb4S and a molecular weight of 970 g/mol. The substance exhibits significant hazard characteristics, classified under multiple danger categories including reproductive toxicity (Repr. 1A), acute toxicity, and severe environmental impact with both acute and chronic aquatic toxicity classifications. The compound's complex structure incorporates multiple lead(2+) cations combined with oxide and sulfate anions, resulting in unique chemical properties that distinguish it from simpler lead compounds. Its classification under ADR Class 6.1 indicates its status as a toxic substance requiring careful handling and specialized transport procedures. The presence of GHS08, GHS07, and GHS09 pictograms emphasizes the serious health hazards and environmental risks associated with exposure. Due to its lead content, this compound shares toxicological concerns with other heavy metal compounds such as cadmium(2+) dinitrate, though each presents distinct hazard profiles. Industrial applications typically involve specialized manufacturing processes where the compound's unique chemical properties are essential, including certain ceramic formulations, specialized glass production, and specific metallurgical applications where lead-based chemistry is required. The substance requires extensive safety protocols during handling, storage, and application due to its reproductive toxicity and potential for bioaccumulation. Environmental protection measures are critical given its persistent nature and aquatic toxicity classification. OYSI maintains availability of this specialized compound for qualified industrial customers requiring technical-grade lead-based materials for specific manufacturing applications.
