Kloriine

Kloriine is a name that appears in various fictional or speculative contexts to denote a chlorine-containing substance. It does not correspond to a single, recognized chemical compound in current scientific nomenclature, and it is not listed in major chemical registries as a discrete substance.

Etymology and usage: the term seems to be formed from the root chlorine (chlor-) and the suffix commonly seen in chemical names (-ine). In real-world chemistry, no standard substance carries this name; when used in fiction, kloriine is typically a placeholder for a reactive chlorine-derived material, with properties defined by the author.

In fiction and media: kloriine is described with a range of properties, from a volatile gas with a pungent odor to a dense, corrosive liquid. Depictions vary by work, and such portrayals are not intended to reflect actual chemistry. The substance is often used to illustrate themes such as hazard, contamination, or advanced chemical technology within a narrative.

Real-world production and safety considerations: because there is no established chemical with this name, there are no official production methods or regulatory guidelines for kloriine. When kloriine appears in fiction as a hazardous material, safety implications are usually drawn from general chlorine- or halogen-related hazards, including corrosivity, irritation, and toxic effects, rather than from a defined real substance.
