Molecule of a component of TCP antiseptic
Component of TCP antiseptic. Computer model of a molecule of 2, 4, 6-trichlorophenol, a component of the commercially available antiseptic TCP. This is used to clean cuts and grazes, and as a gargel to treat sore throats. The chemical formula of this chemical is C6.H3.Cl3.O. This molecular model has colour-coded rods for atoms: carbon (light blue), hydrogen (grey), chlorine (green), oxygen (red). 2, 4, 6-trichlorophenol on its own is a severe skin and eye irritant, so it is diluted and mixed with other chemicals before use. It is also used as a fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, defoliant, and glue preservative

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of a molecule representing 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP), an essential component found in the widely used antiseptic TCP. With its vibrant colors and detailed structure, this illustration provides a fascinating insight into the chemical composition of this powerful disinfectant. The molecular model features color-coded rods that represent different atoms: carbon (light blue), hydrogen (grey), chlorine (green), and oxygen (red). The chemical formula C6. H3. Cl3. O further emphasizes the complexity and precise arrangement of these elements within the molecule. While 2,4,6-trichlorophenol alone possesses strong irritant properties for both skin and eyes, it is skillfully diluted and combined with other chemicals before being utilized as an effective treatment for cuts, grazes, and sore throats. Additionally, this versatile compound finds applications as a fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, defoliant, and glue preservative due to its potent properties. Displayed against a backdrop of tubes and rods symbolizing scientific research tools or laboratory equipment adds depth to the image's context. This visually striking artwork not only highlights the structural intricacies of TCP but also underscores its significance in pharmacology and biochemistry.
