Chemical Properties
white to slightly beige powder
Uses
ScCl
3 can be used in the preparation of lithium salt of anionic scandium tetraborohydride complex (LiSc(BH
4)
4) by forming a ball-milled mixture. LiSc(BH
4)
4 can be used as a potential hydrogen storage material.
Uses
Scandium(III) chloride is a Prins cyclization catalyst. Used to form an intermetallic nickel-scandium compound film by potentiostatic cathodic reduction from molten salt mixtures.
Uses
Scandium chloride (ScCl3): Sc
3+ + 3Cl
1- → ScCl3. As mentioned, this compound is used in
an electrolytic procedure to produce metallic scandium.
General Description
Scandium(III) chloride (ScCl
3) is a scandium halide that can be formed by dissolving scandium oxide in an acid solution and evaporating the resultant solution to dryness.
reaction suitability
reagent type: catalyst
core: scandium
Safety Profile
Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by ingestion. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-. See also SCANDIUM
