Why Is Cs Gas Called Cs Gas?
I've googled, of course, and found this on pbs.org: CS, which stands for 0-chlorobenzalmalononitrile ... which makes no sense as there is no S in the chemical name. I also found that it was discovered by by Corson and Stoughton, which might explain the name. But I've not found a site that confirms that. You would think that somebody would say why it's called CS gas.

// It was discovered by two Americans, Ben Corson and Roger Stoughton,[ 5] at Middlebury College in 1928, and the chemical's name is derived from the first letters of the scientists' surnames.[ 6][ 7]//
