white to slightly beige powder
ScCl3 can be used in the preparation of lithium salt of anionic scandium tetraborohydride complex (LiSc(BH4)4) by forming a ball-milled mixture. LiSc(BH4)4 can be used as a potential hydrogen storage material.
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.
Scandium chloride (ScCl3): Sc3+ + 3Cl1- → ScCl3. As mentioned, this compound is used in
an electrolytic procedure to produce metallic scandium.
Scandium(III) chloride (ScCl3) is a scandium halide that can be formed by dissolving scandium oxide in an acid solution and evaporating the resultant solution to dryness.
reagent type: catalyst
core: scandium
Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by ingestion. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-. See also SCANDIUM
