Applications · 2 items

UsesGadolinium(III) Chloride is used as chelating agents, which is essential for biomedical applications. It is also employed in the synthesis and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of paramagnetic GdPCTA-[12] and GdPCTA-[13] complexes. It plays an important role as contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging and an macrophage inhibitor.

UsesGadoliniuM chloride, anhydrous is a calcium-sensing receptor agonist and is known to work by inducing NLRP3 inflammasome activation in bone marrow-derived macrophages. GdCl3 is used for preparing gadolinium metal.

Preparation methods

PreparationGdCl3 is prepared by heating gadolinium(III) oxide with excess of ammonium chloride above 200°C: Gd2O3 + 6NH4Cl→2GdCl3 + 6NH3 + 3H2O
