reagent type: catalyst core: samarium | [Synthesis]
SmCl3 is usually synthesized by the “ammonium chloride” method, which entails the initial formation of
(NH4)2[SmCl5]. This compound can be prepared from common starting materials at a moderate reaction temperature of
230℃ from samarium oxide. 10NH4Cl +Sm2O3→2 (NH )4 2[SmCl5]+ 6NH3+3H2O |
Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Uses]
Samarium Chloride has specialized uses in glass, phosphors, lasers, and thermoelectric devices. Samarium Chloride is used for the preparation of Samarium metal, which has a variety of uses, notably in magnets. Anhydrous SmCl3 is mixed with Sodium Chloride or Calcium Chloride to give a low melting point eutectic mixture. Electrolysis of this molten salt solution gives the free metal. Samarium Chloride can also be used as a starting point for the preparation of other Samarium salts. |
