Abstract

cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, also known as 1,2-DCE, cis-1,2-DCE, acetylene di-chloride, and 1,2-dichloroethene, is used in a mixture with the trans-1,2-isomer as a captive intermediate in the manufacture of other chlorinated solvents. Its structure and properties are shown in Table I.

Based on USEPA (1984a), except Section I, Which is based on USEPA (1987)
